Yeah, Control.Parallel would be nice to have.  Heck, ideally I could get the whole Haskell Platform, which would be a reasonable comparison to the huge Java and C++ libraries accessible to those languages.

Out of curiosity, though, Haskell's thread-ring implementation just tumbled down the rankings http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?test=threadring&lang=ghc&id=3.  Previously, it'd been doing most of its work on a single core, now it's spread out.  Any ideas for fixin' it?  (I'm going to to try using forkOnIO.)

binary-trees:
   Could not find module `Control.Parallel.Strategies':

       --> cabal install parallel

regex-dna:

   " cannot satisfy -package regex-posix"

       --> cabal install regex-posix


Both are in Debian.
