Comparing Haskell to OCaml, Haskell is almost always slower.
...but generally not by much. And for another perspective on speed: Haskell loses tremendously in the knucleotide benchmark. As I mentioned previously, even TCL beats us by a margin of two, and it seems to be the comparatiely worst-performing benchmark regardless of language I compare to. Current GHC score is 4.6% ahead of GCC, weigting knucleotide to 0 gives us a 13% lead. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
