Although the approach may have potential , the shifting of complex accounting into the unification algorithm is at variance with the findings of Kiefer et al. ( 1999 ) , who report large speed-ups from the elimination of disjunction processing during unification .

In related work , Miyao ( 1999 ) describes an approach to packing in which alternative feature structures are represented as packed , distributed disjunctions of feature structure fragments . Although the approach may have potential , the shifting of complex accounting into the unification algorithm is at variance with the findings of Kiefer et al. ( 1999 ) , who report large speed-ups from the elimination of disjunction processing during unification . Unfortunately , the reported evaluation measures and lack of discussion of parser control issues are insufficient to allow a precise comparison .
