You can spark a thread for each computation of fn, like such:

Hmm, that may be a little *too* fine-grained. (But then, just because I spark 175,862 threads doesn't mean it will actually *run* that many at once, right?) I guess I'll try it and see...
As I understand it, the GHC "spark" implementation is specifically designed to support the case of making lots of sparks and letting the runtime schedule them to threads. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
