If you have a large amount of mostly ASCII text, use ByteString, since Data.Text uses twice the storage. Also, ByteString might make more sense if the data is in a byte-oriented encoding, and the cost of encoding and decoding utf-16 would be significant. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
