Hello Anatoly,

there is some difference between them - MutableByteArray# (used for
STUArray) is movable Haskell object which is subject to GC while
StorableArray has a fixed address and allocated through C malloc().
this makes MBA more appropriate for small arrays while SA should be
used for large ones because GC makes memory usage of program 3 times
larger
