Re: Compiling large source files

Gunther should first check if he thinks this is the same issue as http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2002 (looks similar to me) If it is, he could just add comments there. Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

Could you make a Trac bug report for this, and attach your source file?

It'd help if you could first check that things are still bad with GHC 6.10.4.

Another useful thing would be to provide data on whether the behaviour is non-linear. Eg try with 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, etc elements in your list and see how it behaves.

Providing reproducible and well-characterised bug reports greatly increases the likelihood that we'll fix it!

Thanks
