Dear Group, I've spend the last few days figuring out the solution to Euler Problem 201 in haskell. I first tried a relatively elegant approach based on Data.Map but the performance was horrible. I never actually arrived at the answer. I then rewrote the same algorithm using STUArrays and it was lightning. I have posted both versions of the code at: http://www.maztravel.com/haskell/euler_problem_201.html and would appreciate any insights that you master haskellers can provide on why the speed difference is so huge. Thanks in advance. Henry Laxen
