As a case in point, I took the string search benchmark that Daniel shared
on Friday, and boiled it down to a simple test case: how long does it take
to read a 31MB file?
GNU wc -m:
- en_US.UTF-8: 0.701s
text 0.7.1.0:
- lazy text: 1.959s
- strict text: 3.527s
darcs HEAD:
- lazy text: 0.749s
- strict text: 0.927s
When should we expect to see the HEAD stamped and numbered? After some
of the recent benchmark dueling re web frameworks, I know Text got a bad
rap compared to ByteString. It'd be good to stop the FUD early.
Repeating the above in the announcement should help a lot.
