Comment (by Ashley Yakeley):

 Regarding representation type, the performance of the time library, as
 well as ease of serialisation, might be improvable if `DiffTime` and
 `NominalDiffTime` (which wrap `Pico`) were represented with 128-bit
 integer type rather than `Integer`. See
 <https://github.com/haskell/time/issues/80>. That said, I'm not feeling a
 lot of pressure for this at the moment.
