Using ByteStrings and the C calls does indeed speed things up a bit, but not

For your interest:The original version (with Strings and openFile):
http://hpaste.org/73803Faster (with Strings and c_open):
http://hpaste.org/73802Even faster (with ByteStrings and c_open):

The problem may be that even with ByteStrings, we are stuck using show, and
thus Strings, at some point.
Ideas?
Don't use Show.
Show is only there for printing things at the REPL and has no place in
performance-centric code. The bytestring-lexing[1] package has efficient
functions for rendering integral numbers into ByteStrings[2]. And there
are a number of other efficient ByteString renderers as well, such as
blaze-builder[3].

[2] Albeit, they haven't been hyper-aggressively optimized (cf.,
readDecimal), but that's because I haven't run into the need for doing
so. If you can demonstrate a real need, I'm willing to spend some time
on it.
