Benchmark

# Sample code from
# https://github.com/neologd/mecab-ipadic-neologd/wiki/Regexp.ja#python-written-by-hideaki-t--overlast
import normalize_neologd

%timeit normalize(normalize_neologd.normalize_neologd)
# => 9.55 s ± 29.4 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)


import neologdn
%timeit normalize(neologdn.normalize)
# => 6.66 s ± 35.8 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

neologdn is about x1.43 faster than sample code.
