I suppose I could try writing a nop program and timing it.

Like [1]?

Right. Like that. So now we have Don's timings for the Haskell program on his PC, Scott's timings for the C program on his PC, and the shootout's timings for a no-op Haskell program on their PC. I think what I need to do here is run a set of timings all on the same PC! ;-) I'll probably use my laptop. It has SuSE Linux, so it should also have a C compiler. (Or if it doesn't, I can easily get one. But I'm pretty sure GHC pulls it in as a dependency.) While I'm here, can somebody tell me the correct command to get a time and peak RAM usage printout for a program?
