[Haskell-cafe] Aeson memory use

[Saurabh Nanda]

This is interesting. Why would something like a Data.Map have a bad memory
footprint? In your Aeson benchmark, what happens to memory usage if you
manually trigger a GC cycle? Is hundreds of megs of memory actively being
used? Or is most of it garbage waiting to be collected?
