--- Comment #75 from JeanHeyd Meneide <phdofthehouse at gmail dot com> ---
I would like to add to this post. I experience severe memory usage and
compilation time consumption that ramps up heavily when dealing with binary
data. I documented much of my struggles here:

I am being told that the functionality I am developing is more suited for a bug
report and that this should be compiler QoI. Upon attempting to file this bug,
I decided to throw my own data and woes into the ring here.

Is there a place I should start looking to help out with this? I would like to
start getting closer to the theoretical near-perfect overhead of dealing with
what essentially ends up being a large binary payload, without resorting to
#embed or any special builtins.
