Hello,
When I was using C code from Python, the overhead put on calling C code by Python was significant.
To simplify, say I have on C-side two procedures f and g, I do all the stuff to call them in a row from Python, well I'm better off factorizing: adding on C side a wrapper h procedure that calls them both, and then call h from Python, because then I will have half as much overhead:

Instead of SwitchToC -> call f -> SwitchToPython -> SwitchToC -> call g -> SwitchToPython,
the factorization leads to SwitchToC -> call f -> call g -> SwitchToPython,
which gives the same result yet is different performance-wise because each switching has a cost.

This is painful, because if another time I have to call f and j (another function), then I have to make another wrapper.

In Haskell world, now, given that my functions f and g would have been imported using unsafe:

foreign import unsafe "f" f :: Thing -> Foo -> IO ()
foreign import unsafe "g" g :: Stuff -> Bar -> IO ()
foreign import unsafe "h" h :: Thing -> Foo -> Stuff -> Bar -> IO ()

Are
doStuff = f x y >> g z w
and
doStuff = h x y z w
equivalent, or is there an overhead (e.g. due to IO monad, or due to the way the FFI does the calls) when compiled (if need be with optimizations) with GHC?
