Hi all, Using Ben's timing patch [^1], Cabal, and a Haskell program to parse generated logs [^2], I generated some tables that show compile times of modules in hxt, haskell-src-exts, lens, and all of their dependencies: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/osa1/fd82335181a584679c9f3200b7b0a8a5/raw... Some notes: - Modules and passes in modules are sorted. - At the end of the file you can see the cumulative numbers for the passes. In fact, that's a small table so I'm just going to paste it here: ======================Total====================== CodeGen 41.32% Simplifier 34.83% Renamer/typechecker 12.22% Desugar 2.11% CorePrep 1.90% Demand analysis 1.44% CoreTidy 1.35% Called arity analysis 1.10% Float inwards 0.96% Common sub-expression 0.87% Parser 0.75% SpecConstr 0.57% Specialise 0.30% Worker Wrapper binds 0.17% Liberate case 0.12% ByteCodeGen 0.00% Simplify 0.00% I don't know how to make use of this yet, but I thought ghc-devs may find it useful. As a next thing I'm hoping to add some more `withTiming` calls. The analyze program can handle nested `withTiming` calls and renders passes as a tree (GHC HEAD doesn't have nested `withTiming`s so we don't see it in the file above), so we can benchmark things in more details. I also want to experiment a little bit with different `force` parameters to `withTiming`. If anyone has any other ideas I can also try those. --- [^1]: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1959 [^2]: https://github.com/osa1/analyze-ghc-timings
