nh2: That's an interesting idea. We would just have to persist the timing information somehow (through the interface file maybe)

I don't think the interface file is a good place: I tried to build/improve Haskell build systems in the last months and interface files not being generated the same for identical inputs was always a problem (e.g. in http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8144). Probably making an own file for that will work as well. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:33 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
