Just a quick adjustment: I have suggested writing raw operations in (hopefully) portable C. And although I would consider eliminating some of the levels of calls (from the compiled Haskell code via Num.lhs and the handcoded PrimOps.cmm to the specific C function implementing the desired operation), I agree that inlining the entire function implementing the operation would be excessive.
