Hi,
I was trying to convert some code from ordinary boxed array to unboxed
arrays for performance reasons.
However my code ultimately failed because
I load a large array saved as a text file using the derived Read, Show
mechanism.
I found that Read was maybe 30 times slower than the

HI Don
(But of course, having Read/Show defined for UArray may well be
useful, and sounds a good idea)

If in doubt, look on hackage:

serialisation method I could possibly think of. If performance matters
to you, and the array is more than a few elements long, switching away
from Read/Show should be the first step - before going
