That was my first thought - but what I'm looking for is some confirmation from those who know better that treating the GC as 'statistical source' is a valid hypothesis. If the thing is 'random' that's fine - if its timing is non-deterministic, that's not fine.
So GC experts are there any hints you can give me? - are there any papers that cover this timing aspect? and are there any corner cases that might make the statistical approach risky? (or at worse invalid).
I suggest you repost this question on the ghc users mailing list as -cafe is a bit high volume sometimes for the ghc hackers to keep up with. Duncan
