Hi,

I've written a new PLY parser called miniply (https://github.com/vilya/miniply). Would you be willing to add it to your benchmark? I'd be happy to submit a pull request.

Great work on the benchmark by the way!

Thanks for the comparison between different libraries!
Is there any particular reason you left out libplyxx (https://github.com/srajotte/libplyxx)? Do you have any thoughts about the pros and cons of that library?

I know it's not directly part of a benchmark (though it may be related to their speed?), but it would be useful to note which libraries support streaming of points using callbacks rather than allocating big arrays and passing them in.

Your msh_ply, for example, looks like it requires pre-allocation of large arrays. If your data isn't already in this format, it's a problem. In my potential use-case I would have to construct these arrays from my points (hundreds of millions) before writing them out.

I haven't looked at them all yet, but it looks like RPly uses callbacks for example.

Thanks for this comparison!
