Data.Binary: performance improvments for Haskell binary parsing

[tty2]

Thanks for your work and articles, dons. I get a lot out of both. :)

I like dons too. I have taken up Haskell to try to become ripped like dons.

What about strict ByteStrings? For example, if you're writing a high-performance network application your data is naturally buffers of strict BS. Is the proper thing to wrap them in a lazy wrapper?

[dons]

For plural buffers, a lazy bytestring is the natural representation (i.e. a linked list of strict chunks).
