Re: Performance: Faster to define a function writing out all arguments?

Hi

And strangely enough on my machine 1) is faster by a few percent than

Consider a few percent to be "noise". It may not really be a faster result, and it may not have anything to do with what you wrote.

A few percent might seem unimportant, but I am currently developing my Haskell style. And I want to write efficient code by default, if that doesn't lead to obfuscation.

Write clear code by default - GHC can usually make the leap between clear and efficient. You may want to read http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Performance - but if you are developing your Haskell style I'd not bother yet. Thanks Neil
