Thanks for the redirect. I haven't tried profiling yet, as I was hoping it was obvious to the more seasoned user. In reference to your comment about tail-recursion not working as you'd always expect, is there some document somewhere that tells the wherefores of that? I'm using fully qualified types and fully uncurried functions, so I wouldn't think that I should really see this kind of recursion, coming from languages like Scheme and OCaml.

Seasoned users know that nothing is obvious until you run the profiler. With that said, the discussion on haskell-cafe is good when it comes to the reasoning behind tail-recursion not working the way users of strict languages might expect. Perhaps it should be written up somewhere more permanent. But that's a point about Haskell in general.
