I ashamedly had never heard of this before. Could anyone add any colour RE:

1. Parsimony.

2. Performance vs awk and friends.

3. Multi threading.

4. Ideal use cases.

4. My use case was: If you have a some what fuzzy parsing problem that is harder than a single regexpr and needs backtracing, and then generate a report from it.

For these things TXR is great.

If you want to do multi threading or best performance it's probably not the thing to use.
