.... try copying and pasting the most heavily used macros into the file they are
used in.

For instance, on my Windows XP machine the following code can be sped up to
parse *** 25 TIMES FASTER *** by un-commenting the second line:

#include "rand.inc"
//#macro VRand(RS) < rand(RS), rand(RS), rand(RS)> #end
#declare R = seed(42);
#declare i = 0;
#while (i < 100000)
  #declare V = VRand(R);
  #declare i = i + 1;
#end

On my Linux machine, it's not that extreme, but still a factor of 12.
