Dear All,

Recently I have been doing a lot of CSV processing. I initially tried to use the Data.Csv (cassava) library provided on Hackage, but I found this to still be too slow for my needs. In the meantime I have reverted to hacking something together in C, but I have been left wondering whether a tidy solution might be possible to implement in Haskell.

Have you tried profiling your cassava implementation? In my experience I've found it's quite quick. If you have an example of a slow path I'm sure Johan (cc'd) would like to know about it.

I'm always interested in examples of code that is not running fast enough. Send me a reproducible example (preferably as a bug on the GitHub bug tracker) and I'll take a look.
