Since you seem to have an itch here, how about you port the plugin?
I was just reading more of that Stack Overflow page, and the *second* answer is by brian d foy, who points out that HTML::Escape is either 2 or 20x faster than HTML::Entities in his testing, depending on whether he uses the native Perl version or the XS version: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14818874 Since D2 is normally installed via automatic CPAN retrieval tools rather than by manually unpacking tarballs, the nonstandard dependency shouldn’t be a problem for your new plugin, unless you have existing installations at sites without reliable Internet access.
