I think we should at least give the other options a fair try.

Do you have other options in mind? This has bugged us for a decade -- it's why it's called the "state hack". Getting perf numbers for compiling everything (incl libraries) with `-fno- state-hack` would give us a bit of data to go on. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7411#comment:30 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
