How fast is good old String rather than ByteString?
For lexing, String is a good fit (cheap deconstruction at the head / front). For your particular case, maybe it loses due to the large file size, maybe it doesn't...
I gave it a shot and the percentages in the profile are approximately the same (and peak memory usage was about double). I might end up having to parse the original binary format instead of the text format.
