Did you try bytestring literals (and maybe parsing them in-memory with Data.Binary)?

I finally squeezed enough time to try it, and it didn't work for me.

-- ghc Overflow.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Overflow ( Overflow.hs, Overflow.o )

Enable optimisations! Compile with ghc -O2. You need this to avoid having a very slow pack call at runtime.

Yes, I tried basic variations like that. The result is the same with -O1 or with -O2, and with Data.ByteString or Data.ByteString.Lazy .

Ok, hmm, that really shouldn't be the case. Do you have the example available somewhere? It's just a 40M inline bytestring? -- Don
