Very interesting idea!
I think the big thing would be to measure it with GHC HEAD so you can see how effectively the sparks are being converted into threads.
Is there a package and test case somewhere we can try out?
At this point the parser is just a proof of concept. For those brave enough, however, I've put the code on github: http://github.com/akborder/HsMakefileParser/ The "test.mk" file provides some test cases. To get an input big enough to measure multiple thread performances, you can concatenate that file a few thousand times: the timings in my previous message were obtained parsing a 3000x concatenation (final size: 1.1 MB).
