Please define "fast processing of large amounts of data". This can mean
widely different things.

If you are dealing with matrices (numerical analysis...), yes, probably
you want Array's or Bigarray's.

Otherwise, even for structures mapping an integer range to values, arrays
may not be the best choice. I have in mind a particular example where we
used a balanced binary map from integers to values, because this allowed
implementing certain optimizations (see section 6.2 of
http://www.di.ens.fr/~monniaux/biblio/Static_analyzer_LNCS2566.pdf ).
