[erlang-questions] Proper replacement for io_lib:format due to low speed

[Pierre Fenoll]

Hi Max,

How about just generating an iolist?
You could write a simple function for this FmtStr case that outputs an
iolist and thus does not do too much copying and allocation.
Also how much faster is io_libc/format/2 compared to io_libc?
Just curious.


Cheers,
