[Haskell-cafe] zip-archive performance/memmory usage

[Pieter Laeremans]

Hello,

I'm trying some haskell scripting. I'm writing a script to print some
information
from a zip archive.  The zip-archive library does look nice but the
performance of zip-archive/lazy bytestring
doesn't seem to scale.

Executing :

   eRelativePath $ head $ zEntries archive

on an archive of around 12 MB with around 20 files yields

Stack space overflow: current size 8388608 bytes.


The script in question can be found at :

http://github.com/plaeremans/HaskellSnipplets/blob/master/ZipList.hs

I'm using the latest version of haskell platform.  Are these libaries not
production ready,
or am I doing something terribly wrong ?

kind regards,

Pieter
