Re: [Haskell-cafe] Streaming bytes and performance

Hi Don,

"Using this input file stored in /dev/shm"

So not measuring the IO performance at all. :)

of course the program measures I/O performance. It just doesn't measure the speed of the disk. Anyway, a highly optimized benchmark such as the one you posted is eventually going to beat one that's not as highly optimized. I think no-one disputes that fact. I was merely trying to point out that a program which encodes its evaluation order properly is going to be reasonably fast without any further optimizations. Take care, Peter
