I'd also like to point to a couple of CSV libraries I released a long time ago and have been maintaining that both target constant-space operation and try (and hope) for the best in terms of speed. I'd be very interested to know how they fare in terms of performance benchmarking:

Latest, based on conduit: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/csv-conduit (just released the latest version)

Notice how both are based on IO streaming libraries of fame to achieve both constant space operation AND nice interoperability with their habitat. I have found this to be especially true in the case of conduit.

If you end up designing a benchmark, I'd be happy to get it working with my library.

Simple answer - I have never heard of cassava, and suspect it did not exist
when I first did the benchmarking. I'd be happy to re-do my performance
comparison, including cassava and any other recent-ish CSV libraries, if I
can find them.

I would be very interested in those results, Malcolm.

Thanks,

John Wiegley
