I would say that counts as cheating because it assumes that knowledge of the input in advance. However, I wonder how it would perform if there were a "reChunk" function that lazily built a new lazy ByteString by merging smaller chunks together --- i.e., it would keep pullings chunks from the ByteString until it reached some threshold size, merge them into a single strict ByteString chunk, and then recursively continue processing the rest of the lazy ByteString in this manner.
