Yeah, a several of the five failures were caused by running out of memory. Now, I thought String vs. PackedString shouldn't be that much of a difference anymore? Are there strictness differences between the two that could be causing the String version to build up huge thunks? Maybe I'll be a wench and change it to ByteString.Char8 and see what happens.
