 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster.  These are 
 
-- improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so
-  that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also
-  reduces code size and complexity):
-    `Bl -column' pointer
-    `Bf' font type
-
 - improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance)
 
 - improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)

+- the PDF file is HUGE: this can be reduced by using relative offsets

+************************************************************************
+* structural issues
+************************************************************************
+
+- rendering frontend code can calculate widths only for plain strings,
+  not for strings containing escape sequences.  For example, this
+  hinders calculation of the indent required for .Nm \&[ in text(1).
