Relative performance of Darren Hiebert's ctags parser and KDevelop

I've had another look at the KDEStudio parser, and indeed it does use Darren
Hiebert's ctags parser - they have left the GPL'd headers and author credits
in, just not credited themselves much. Of course it doesn't need to generate
ctags - just QDom constructs they've changed it to that. An efficient use
of open source resources, but had me confused. 

I'd did a simple comparison between KDevelop 3.0 opening up the studio project,
and KDEStudio. KDevelop takes 4 seconds, KDEStudio takes 7 seconds. I think the
ctags parser might be more thorough perhaps, but then it isn't as nice to work
on and only just over half as fast.
