Hi, I've recently tried to compile some data into my program, and suddenly I realize why people tend to complain about the speed of GHC. For a benchmark, I'd like to include a bit of data in the form of a list of integer matrices (i.e. [[[Int]]]). While I have about 10000 of them, sized about twenty square, even 100 of them takes extremely long to compile. Is there a trick to make this faster? (For short lists (1-8 matrices), time seems to scale linarly, but the 100-matrix took much longer than expected from a simple extrapolation) Also, it takes a long time before any error is produced, it'd be nice if syntactical problems were reported as quickly as possible (perhaps they are?) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
