To minimize the memory footprint of an application, for example.  
ejabberd was a huge memory hog a year and a half ago since XML  
binaries received from the socket were converted to lists for  
processing. I was an even bigger memory hog on a x64 system for  
obvious reasons. I noticed that even then they were using an expat  
driver that could operate on binaries so they may have completed that  
conversion now.
