Comment (by cactus):

 With the latest changes I am seeing some further performance regression,
 to put it mildly. I've only tested `slow1.hs`, but as of
 2515686ff695169238b673423f01768f5aaa9750, I am getting this on a perf
 build on Windows:

 {{{
 real    54m45.347s
 user    0m0.000s
 sys     0m0.062s
 }}}

 Now, granted, it's not the same machine as the one I originally reported
 this from, but... 55 '''minutes'''!
