Re: Int vs Word performance?

| | A quick grep shows almost no specialization at all for Word, or for | | IntXX/WordXX (see below). Still, none of that seems to explain the | | example repeated at the top of this message. | | We'd be delighted to apply suitable library patches.

PS: in the case that no one gets around to creating such a patch, creating a ticket that documents the problem and points to the needed specialisations would be a start

Since more that just SPECIALI[SZ]E pragmas seem involved, I've created a ticket to summarize this thread's findings: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3055 Claus
