This is more of a "could be nice" entry if there are any interested core developers.

A new algorithm and library was recently published for faster parsing of double numbers.  It claims rigorous accuracy and the performance is impressive.  The implementation is in C++ but it's really decorated C.  It also seems simple enough that it can be reimplemented independently.
