The profiling run on Linux looks like this:

Insert lots of {-# SCC "foo" #-} pragmas (you did pass -auto-all on the command line when compiling?). You can't interpret a profile where almost everything is attributed to MAIN or main.
The -auto-all flag is on. The actual "main" function only takes up 3.5% of the inherited time, and the program is only spending 2.4% of its time doing GC. Main itself is pretty trivial -- it creates an MVar, runs the server in a forkIO (to get the accept() loop out of the main thread, as suggested by http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Simple_Servers), and blocks on the mvar until the accept loop is terminated. I'm just curious as to what the meaning of the MAIN cost centre is -- is it just a catch-all bucket? Are we measuring time spent in the runtime system? G -- Gregory Collins <greg@gregorycollins.net>
