Impressive performance gains! 5x faster than MuPDF is significant, especially for applications processing large volumes of PDFs. Zig's memory safety without garbage collection overhead makes it ideal for this kind of performance-critical work.

I'm curious about the trade-offs mentioned in the comments regarding Unicode handling. For document analysis pipelines (like extracting text from technical documentation or research papers), robust Unicode support is often critical.

Would be interesting to see benchmarks on different PDF types - academic papers with equations, scanned documents with OCR layers, and complex layouts with tables. Performance can vary wildly depending on the document structure.

What memory safety?
