Bulat says,<br>
<pre>i foresee that Streams + Fast Packed Strings together will yield a<br>breakthrough in GHC I/O speed, and this can be implemented even<br>without waiting for GHC 6.6</pre>
Before reading this I had thought it might be an XOR situation, but now it seems a happy coexistence may be possible. Are there any preliminary results on how these might work together, and the potential speedups? <br><br>
