You know, it really looks good, and I really could use efficient file access, but I'm afraid I really need an implementation, too. :-) > (to clarify, that link above is a half-baked design for a System.IO > replacement.

Do I need to FFI the whole thing and have a C library give me large chunks? Or can I get by with hGet/PutArray? If so, what sizes should they be? Should I use memory mapped files? I'm willing to put in some work, accept some kluges, and so on, but I can't really blindly try all possible combinations with my fingers crossed. Some people seem to manage to speed things up, but I can't seem to find anything *specific* anywhere. E.g. when I posted a snippet to do readFile¹ in somewhat larger chunks a while ago, I was hoping somebody would say, hey, that's just stupid, what you need to do instead is... or point me to TFM, but unfortunately only silence ensued, and left me a sadder but none the wiser man... -kzm ¹ Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
