This is basically a typo, and I'll fix it right now.  Here's the history...

It was added in r1.77 when it said "The default value of this setting is 
<code>false</code> (no parser reuse).  Setting the value to 
<code>true</code> can result in a performance improvement when parsing
large numbers of files in sequence."

Then in r1.78 I changed the defalult to true, and changed the values in 
<code> from false/true to true/false.  But the second sentence should 
have been flat out removed.  Sorry for the miss.
