The hit would be in memory use and less efficient cache behaviour; that is
all i think

Is there still an explicit limit on the number of p-fields or has that
been dealt with in the new parser somehow?

There's a "soft limit" of 1998 p-fields, which means if you go past it
the extra p-fields are stored in an "extra" list. And there is only
