Except that it doesn't show that, because every entity expansion
involves copying the following text forward. I'd be astonished if that
wins compared with delivering expansions SAX-style. I'd even be
surprised if it wins against non-in-place expansion to a separate
buffer (assuming the copy was optimized away for the no entity refs
case).
