Re: [Haskell-cafe] Integers v ints

The cost factor of Integer vs Int is far, far smaller than the factor between computable reals vs Double. On Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 6:33 PM, Jens Blanck wrote:

Yes, the cost for computable reals will be an order of magnitude or possibly two for well-behaved computations. For not well-behaved problems it will be much worse, but it won't return nonsense either. Also consider that the difference between Integers and unboxed Ints is also quite big. I'll happily to take the hit.
