Another Python parser generator to look into is SimpleParse/mxTextTools

  <http://simpleparse.sourceforge.net/>

We use it to parse and process large log files.  In our case, a typical
grammar contains over 250 productions and parsing a log file of 180
Klines (100 MB) takes approx 3 min.  Processing the result from the
parse step requires an additional 3 mins.  This on a 2.4 GHz Xeon
machine running RedHat 8.

Obviously these figures are very grammar and application specific. Your
milage may vary.
