I forgot to mention that the memory consumption is several times higher than file size. On 8,3 Mb file:
532 MB total memory in use (4 MB lost due to fragmentation).
Having that 8 Mb in memory is not the problem. 532 Mb is another story. In general, the program consumes roughly 64 times more memory than file size and it scales linearly.
You should be using ByteString, though this problem would be alleviated if you were consuming the file as a stream. -- Jedaï
