Three reviews of "How it compares" (a maintainer audit of the harness, a
methodology review, a reader's red team) led to a full rerun on the Mac and
x86-64 with simdjson 5.1.1 and new ways in the harness:
- in-place parses with the copy made before the timer ("(copy untimed)",
never chosen as a library's best) and json_document::parse_copy();
- RapidJSON through StringStream, and with default precision in validate,
which reads no number;
- BENCH_ONLY takes several prefixes.
The post now gives the copy's real cost (11-14 us for twitter.json on the
Mac, not 30), what yyjson gains without it, the run-to-run noise, the LTO
check, the single-file losses that were missing, and qualifies the headline
claim. Every number in the section and Appendix E is recomputed; the
NUL-byte remark moved out of the body.

Measure everything again against develop with the open pull requests of
11-03 (suite, timeline, comparison on the Mac and on x86-64, compile
times, stream gap), add the suite on an Intel MacBook Pro as a check,
mark the ways that keep number text as "N" in the use-case charts, move
the loop-shape box to theme 5, and apply the style and wording fixes of
the review.

The baseline is now develop 9c349b1d7c with every open non-draft pull
request merged, including #5968, #5970, #5971, #5975, #5976, #5978,
#5979, #5980, #5981 and #5982. The suite was rerun on 11-01 with every
step repeated when the load rose above 5 while it ran; the comparison
with other libraries and the held-out files were rerun on 10-31.
- suite: 3.0x geometric mean (median 2.9x); Appendix B, the overview
and the distribution regenerated
- timeline endpoint, Appendix D and the cliffs figure updated
- the held-out figure compares json_document with the fastest other
library
- new paragraphs for the pull requests listed above

- short strings: two overlapping 16-byte loads and stores
- eight digits at a time: the three multiplications, lane by lane
- validate on the 19 held-out files, per file, Mac and x86-64
The prose the figures replace is trimmed.
