In fact, I would like to know how Haskell compares in performance to other languages because if I refer to the page I mentioned (http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/craps.shtml) it does not even compete with Python (which is rather... slow).

You should look at the individual examples and see how relevant their results are for you. And keep in mind that strings tend to be slow in Haskell (being lazy lists of characters), a fact that may influence some of the tests.
