Have you tested `cabal -j` on this branch? They *should* compose fine, and I'd love to see what kind of speedup one can get installing the Haskell Platform packages.
Right now this may result in more processes being created than desired. We're working on solving this issue (though the patches won't be ready for 1.18). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:42 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
