You can build large constant bytestrings, fwiw. They turn into an Addr#, and GHC will leave them alone.

Well, for my particular problem -- I guess I could align all the elements of the lists, and then build the trie and maps from the ByteStrings at startup.

You could pull them out with Data.Binary too, making it a little faster constructing. -- Don
