One of the interesting points that this illustrates (to me) is that the "obvious" approach in Haskell can be seriously non-optimal in terms of performance. Add to this the fact that tuning functional programs is a non-trivial art, and it becomes quite easy to see why Haskell might come across as slow.
I got totally burned by this trying to write a heavily threaded, heavy networking app in Haskell. The obvious approach was a dead-end. Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/
