new, faster lex?

[Kris Kugel]

I recently heard that somebody had posted a new, faster
lex source recently.  Nothing like that showed up here,
could anybody tell me if such a thing exists, and if so,
where I can get it?  

Thanx,

P.S.  There was an abstract for an article about a faster lex
in one of the USENIX proceedings, but I couldn't figure out
how to get mail to the authors of the paper for more details . . .
