Hi list,

I wrote a script that reads matrix elements from standard input, parses the input using a regular expression, and then bins the matrix elements by magnitude. I wrote the same script in python (just to be sure :) ) and find that the python version vastly outperforms the Haskell script.

To be concrete:

$ time ./createMatrixDump.py -N 128 | ./printMatrixDecay

real    0m2.655s

user    0m2.677s

sys     0m0.095s

$ time ./createMatrixDump.py -N 128 | ./printMatrixDecay.py -

real    0m0.445s

user    0m0.615s

sys     0m0.032s

The Haskell script was compiled with "ghc --make printMatrixDecay.hs".

Could you have a look at the script and give me some pointers as to where I could improve it, both in terms of performance and also generally, as I am very new to Haskell.

Thanks already,

nick
