--
-- A comparison between 'blaze-builder' and the Data.Binary.Builder from
-- 'binary'. The goal is to measure the performance on serializing dynamic
-- data referenced by a list.
--
-- Note that some of the benchmarks are a bit unfair with respect to
-- blaze-builder, as it does more than 'binary':
--
--   1. It encodes chars as utf-8 strings and does not just truncate character
--      value to one byte.
--
--   2. It copies the contents of the lazy bytestring chunks if they are
--      shorter than 4kb. This ensures efficient processing of the resulting
--      lazy bytestring. 'binary' just inserts the chunks directly in the
--      resulting output stream.
