Would you care to point out which site you're talking about here? There's no point in debating if you make such vague assertions. I know for a fact that Sunrise converts typical web content (i.e. BBC News, Onion, etc.) way faster than JPluck by virtue of it being able to convert multiple documents simultaneously. That's what users have been telling me as well. Apparently, your experience is different, but without any concrete pointers to the content that you're dealing with I cannot dispute that.

As for Sunrise containing JPluck code. It only uses the library for generating Plucker content, the bulk of which I wrote two years ago and used throughout JPluck 0.x, BlogPluck and JPluck 2.x. This is only a tiny fraction of the whole. Everything else - the UI, spidering, threading, SDL handling, HTML/RSS/Atom parsing - is totally new. (When I remove the Plucker generation library it shares none of the code.)
