On: Use perfect hashing, instead of binary search, for keyword lookup

Nope, cdb is worse than this generator. We've used cdb before. cdb is even worse than gperf.

It’s down to a quality of implementation. I can give you some hints on improving it if you’re interested.

A tiny JIT code generator inside cdb would definitely bring performance on par with a generated C code but it’s probably an overkill.
