However, it's possible that your use of this function is forcing evaluation of a deeply-nested thunk you've created somewhere else (as print does in the foldl example).

Thank you for the detailed and helpful reply. I was led to this function by the vanilla profiling, which showed that it had the highest percentage of allocations. Now I'm thinking I'll look at the functions up the call stack to see which might be building up the thunk. Would "retainer profiling" help me see what was building up this large thunk/closure? Justin
