No, Ensemble was huge for other reasons.  The Harmonia framework (which inherited parts of Ensemble) is a lot leaner.  And I can assure you that reimplementing the incremental lexer is not a difficult task as I've done that once before for the CodeProcessor project at SunLabs (http://www.sun.com/research/people/mlvdv/COM.Sun.Labs.Forest.doc.coset_2000.abs.html)
