I guess the optimizations that went into making lazy bytestring IO fast (on
disks) are increasingly irrelevant as SSDs take over.

Hi Don,
"Using this input file stored in /dev/shm"
So not measuring the IO performance at all. :)
of course the program measures I/O performance. It just doesn't measure the speed of the disk.
Anyway, a highly optimized benchmark such as the one you posted is eventually going to beat one that's not as highly optimized. I think no-one disputes that fact.
I was merely trying to point out that a program which encodes its evaluation order properly is going to be reasonably fast without any further optimizations.
Take care, Peter
