I've written much simpler audio signal processing routines compiled by GHC which don't run in realtime on a 1GHz machine ...
Mind if I ask what was going on there? I can see things potentially taking that long if you do things in a [Word16] or something like that, and this /is/ one of the cases where float is better than double... That, and this is probably one of those "squash laziness" situations. -- flippa@flippac.org
