There is currently an interesting discussion on Reddit on GHC compile times

I feel that this is a serious problem; so, it probably ought to be discussed here as well.

One area that is in terrible need of attention is nofib itself. It's a good start but it needs many more testcases representative of today's idiomatic Haskell. 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. Cheers, - Ben
