[web-devel] Caching the System time

[Simon Meier]

Hi Max,

if you're going for such a solution, then why not use difference lists
or even better bytestring builders as your representation of the
not-yet-flushed logging journal? Bytestring builders (from the
blaze-builder library) support a fast append and fast serialization
from a number of formats to bytestring.

best regards,
Simon
