Comment (by hth313):

 Normal build (report using time)

 {{{
 real    16m17.687s
 user    16m1.916s
 sys     0m10.150s
 }}}

 Profiling build (no `+RTS -p`)

 {{{
 real    0m26.963s
 user    0m26.562s
 sys     0m0.378s
 }}}

 Profiling build, `+RTS -p`

 {{{
 real    0m27.528s
 user    0m27.121s
 sys     0m0.471s
 }}}

 Peeking inside generated `.prof`

 {{{
         total time  =       14.04 secs   (14037 ticks @ 1000 us, 1
 processor)
         total alloc = 17,827,853,336 bytes  (excludes profiling overheads)
 }}}
