-Memory consumption is atrocious: 146 megs to render a scene that's a 33k ascii file. Where does it all go? A heap profile reports the max heap size at a rather more reasonable 500k or so. (My architecture is 64 bit ubuntu on a dual-core amd.)
Try retainer profiling to see who's holding on to memory. To track down a suspect, add SCC annotations and filter the retainer profile to just those annotations (-hC option). Heap profiling is documented at http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/prof-heap.html Justin
