My current version is already very fast, but I've heard everyone raving about how slow Strings were to use for I/O, so I wanted to _experiment_ with ByteStrings to see the performance difference.

I very much doubt that you will see a difference in performance
between String and Text for the amounts of data that you can fit on a
terminal window.
