I agree with the principle of correctness, but let's be honest - it's
(many) orders of magnitude between ByteString and String and Text, not
just a few percentage points…
Well, your benchmarks are highly suspect. See below.
Data.ByteString.Lazy.UTF8 (system readFile + fromString + length) - 11
seconds, correct length.
You should be using bytestring I/O for this.
Data.Text.Lazy (system readFile + pack + length) - 26s, correct
length.
You should be using text I/O for this.
This is certainly true but adds some unfortunate bloat and has the taste
of Java libraries, which define a plethora of similar, but not
interchangeable methods due to legacy.
