I'm aware that a user could shoot him/herself in the foot by passing in non-UTF8 data, but I would imagine the performance gains would outweigh this. My recent benchmarks on the BigTable benchmark[1] imply a huge performance gap between ByteStrings and other contenders.
Wow, I find it rather surprising that String out-performs Text; any idea why that is? I wonder if you're just using it wrong...
Could be, I'd be very happy if that were the case. All of the benchmarks are available on Github, and the bytestring[1], text[2] and string[3] versions are all rather short.
