Please help me understanding GHC 5.02.2 profiling output!
Please upgrade your version of GHC - lots of bugs have been fixed in later versions. ...
cutStates = {-# SCC "showData1" #-} getStates params
...
My question: showData1 is a single function call, how can it still have such a big individual share? Where is the program spending its time? Sorry if it is a trivial question, functional profiling is new to me.
The answer is that I don't know, from your program it does indeed look like showData1 should be showing the cost of doing the call, nothing more. Try with a newer version of GHC and see if you get the same results. Cheers, Simon
