Comment (by mpickering):

 Another way to make the program faster is to write

 {{{
 sfilter3 :: (a -> Bool) -> Stream s a -> Stream s a
 sfilter3 pred (Stream step s0) = Stream filterStep s0 where
   filterStep s =
     let go s =
           case step s of
             Done -> Done
             Yield x ns
               | pred x    -> Yield x ns
               | otherwise -> go ns
     in go s
 }}}

 or to perform the transformation described by Simon in #13966.

 Both leads to precisely the same core as the `INLINE [2]` version.
