I'm fairly new to Haskell and the Haskell community, but I can say from my experience of hacking on GHC, the GHC team of developers are very interested in performance improvements, e.g. this thread is about performance! So Bulat, why don't you hack on GHC yourself and help improve the compiler? Or suggest detailed improvements since you seem capable of citing specific examples?

Because he's convinced himself it's pointless because Haskell will never be able to run faster than C (note how he keeps trying to run dons out of the discussion because he has proof to the contrary).
