Sorry, after I sent my long explanation I see what you are really
asking. I was going by the assumption that someone really did measure
and find out that keeping the length and pointer information in the
same page as the bytestring data is a significant win. While saying
"chunkOverhead = 16" would still work it's simply false for imaginary
128bit Haskell machines (Cell SPEs?), and I don't like betting against
commercial changes in computing.
Cheers,
Thomas
