clearly IOMutArray is the best, even outperforming the UnboxedArray. Unfortunately, writing code in the IOMutArray format is much uglier than writing it in the UnboxedArray or NormalArray formats, even though I know that I'm never going to refer to an old version of the array, so inplace updates are a-okay.
So my question is: how can I get better performance without wrapping everything in the IO (or some other) monad?
<Shameless Plug> This question is the motivation for our work on optimising array codes: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/CK01.html Unfortunately, I can't point you to a web site where you can download everything ready to run, but the plan is to have some library code for more general consumption ready in the next couple of weeks.
