Re: [Haskell-cafe] Performance difference between ghc and ghci

In general code compiled with GHC will be a lot faster than code interpreted by GHCI. You can also call compiled code from within GHCI, in which case you would hardly see a performance difference. On 22 February 2011 08:26, C K Kashyap wrote:

Hi, Is there a runtime performance difference between a haskell program running under GHCI vs in its compiled form? Especially for a long running program - as in, ignoring the initial setup time. If I understand right, in both case tree reduction is what is happening and performance should be similar. Regards, Kashyap
