An Rle object, even if it only stores the widths, would be better than RangedData. Just getting the starts out of a RangedData is an O(n) operation, and there is in general a lot of overhead for functionality that is not useful in your case.
Thanks. But wait a second: Isn't there a slot "starts" in a RangedData object? So why would it be O(n) if this information is already there? My concern was that getting the starts (or even just getting a value at a given position) from an Rle object would be O(n) because the Rle object does not contain the starts, only the lengths of the intervals. So, what information is now stored where?
