No, but in many cases it's possible to speed things up by saving the
results of any complicated calculations that you are performing during
the parsing. The parser tends to be pretty quick at processing raw
objects, and the things that tend to take up the parsing time are often
the complicated calculations that determine the positioning of those
objects. So save the calculated data from the first frame by #write-ing
it to a file and then just #read it back for the other frames.

The other thing that's likely to take huge amounts of parsing time is
the loading of tens of megabytes of mesh data, and there's no way to
avoid the parsing time for that.
