It would be great if we could get users to submit their computationally-heavy, toy projects. Unfortunately, the best testcases for us are those with no dependencies outside of the core libraries and these projects aren't terribly common.

This appears extremely unfortunate, because it is *the* metric that is really representative of end user experience.

Multiple modules aren't a problem. It is dependencies on Hackage packages that complicate matters. Cheers, - Ben
