Comment (by dfeuer):

 That is, GHC's processing of its own command line could affect GC timings
 in some tiny way that is enough to lead to the difference you experienced.
 Just to make really sure, I turned on `-ddump-simpl` and saw that the core
 produced when loading the test file had all the signs of having been
 optimized (e.g., strictness annotations, unfoldings, and worker/wrapper
 pairs).
