Re: [Haskell-beginners] Why is this function that slow?

Thanks Daniel for the explanation, that was really helpful, and thanks Bryce for sharing your solution. I know that the algorithm itself can be improved vastly (especially interesting for bigger palindromes..) but here, I was only worried about the loss of speed after the more or less direct port from Scala to Haskell. But since the Haskell solution now runs 4 times faster than my previous Scala version, I'm happy. :) Thanks again Andreas
