I'm using the Data.AltBinary package to read in a list of 4.8 million floats and 1.6 million ints.

thank you for discovering bug in the library! next version will include thought-reading module which will be able to find how much values to actually want to read. as a temporary workaround, you can use the following code
coordinates <- getList pointsH (48*10^5) :: IO [Float] galaxies <- getList pointsH (16*10^5) :: IO [Int]
Doing so caused the memory footprint to blow up to more than 2gb,
it was because 'get' reads number of items in the list from input stream itself ;) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
