I should point out that for most Haskell programs, the NCG is already as fast (in some cases faster) than via C. The benchmarks showing a difference are all of the small tight loop kind - which are important to some people, I don't dispute that, but I expect that most people wouldn't notice the difference.
Probably. And where the tight loop takes a significant amount of the running time, one can usually write that in C and use the FFI if the NCG doesn't produce comparable code. Granted, it's not as nice, but removing the via-C route won't be a show-stopper for those loops either, I think.
