532 MB total memory in use (4 MB lost due to fragmentation).

i think that Parsec library should hold entire file in memory only when you use 'try' for whole file. otherwise it should omit data as proceeded

That's exactly what I thought. But even if I remove the only 'try' I use the memory consumption remains unchanged:

It's true, but in your case your output is almost the raw input data, which means that even without a noxious "try", you still have the whole file in memory. Well hopefully not with your latest code, which I would really like to see. -- Jedaï
