Not really any more than if evaluation were eager and it was all computed upfront. In general when processing a lazy sequence the system will use just enough CPU / memory to process a given chunk of data so one of the benefits is that you can process sequences where the computation would not otherwise fit in memory. Lazy evaluation definitely takes some getting used to! > Is there someplace where this is discussed in detail, pros / cons, caveats, > concepts etc ? Any books that you think I should read ?
