Hello all,
As an updated, I'm looking into the report Mateusz had of 'free'
failing to build haddocks on OS X*, which I've reproduced. It seems
nasty - I'll follow up with details ASAP.
* See his recent email to ghc-devs about this problem.

The only instances of Haddock becoming really slow that I can think of is some rather old ticket (#101 on Haddock Trac) in presence of Template Haskell but I have closed it a while ago due to lack of information to go on and inability to replicate without the reporter's help. Perhaps this was your use case?
Aha, this is why I could not reproduce it! I checked it on packages which used no TH, and that slow behaviour occurred when TH was involved!
I think it is TH which really triggers producing and splitting of an assembly output and in this case no-splitting gives *huge* benefit. Sadly, I have no time to check this right now.

There's no rush as it's not going to get into 7.8.1 anyway but I would love to see some numbers before 7.8.2 so please keep us in mind.
Thanks!
