If a difference appears, I believe http://blog.johantibell.com/2010/09/static-argument-transformation.htmlwould be involved. Also, the second map function could be inlined by GHC, avoiding calling "f" through a pointer because at the call site, we know what 'f' is (this is also mentionned in the blog post by Johan).

Hello,
Is there any difference in efficiency between these two functions, when compiled with all optimizations?
map f [] = [] map f (a:as) = f a : map f as
and
map f x = map' x where map' [] = [] map' (a:as) = f a : map' as
Thanks, Andrew
