It also helped that the test suite got added back to the main cabal. And the test suite took a WHILE, due to some sort of coercion seize blowup that I think was fixed in 8,0.  But yes. Definitely vector build times decayed.  Partly due to the shift to the general bundle rep, and partly due to ... Ghc builds getting slower

The vector package is probably a good candidate. Compling vector slowed
down signicantly between 7.8 and 7.10, only to speed up again with 8.0.
