Since I'm interested in the stack overflow issue, and getting acquainted
with quickcheck, I thought I would take this opportunity to compare your
ordTable with some code Yitzchak Gale posted earlier, against Ham's
original problem.
As far as I can tell, they're the same. They work on lists up to 100000
element lists of strings, but on 10^6 size lists I lose patience waiting
for them to finish.
Is there a more scientific way of figuring out if one version is better
than the other by using, say profiling tools?
Or by reasoning about the code?

Is there a library function to take a list of Strings and return a list
of
ints showing how many times each String occurs in the list.
So for example:
["egg", "egg", "cheese"] would return [2,1]
I couldn't find anything on a search, or anything in the librarys.
Thanks BH.
Hi BH, This might be overkill, but it works well for me. And it avoid stack overflows I was originally getting for very large lists. Dean Herrington and I came up with this: ordTable :: (Ord a) => [a] -> [(a,Int)] ordTable xs = Map.assocs $! foldl' f Map.empty xs where f m x = let m' = Map.insertWith (+) x 1 m Just v = Map.lookup x m' in v `seq` m' intTable :: [Int] -> [(Int,Int)] intTable xs = IntMap.assocs $! foldl' f IntMap.empty xs where f m x = let m' = IntMap.insertWith (+) x 1 m Just v = IntMap.lookup x m' in v `seq` m' enumTable :: (Enum a) => [a] -> [(a,Int)] enumTable = map fstToEnum . intTable . map fromEnum where fstToEnum (x,y) = (toEnum x, y) If you like, it's easily wrapped in a Table class.
