In this message [3]http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/ 13625 Bulat says, i foresee that Streams + Fast Packed Strings together will yield a breakthrough in GHC I/O speed, and this can be implemented even without waiting for GHC 6.6
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?
I imagine that Bulat could easily write some IO operations that construct ByteStrings as results. So that should be very possible. -- Don
