The only caveat I would mention about using Data.Binary is that it traverses lists twice to encode them. Once to determine the length and once to output the list. As a result you may see space-leak-like behavior when encoding very long lists with Data.Binary.
The same holds for reading back a very long list. It forces the list spine before you can get at any elements. Denis
