Hi,
I'd really love a faster GHC! I spend hours every day waiting for GHC,
so any improvements would be most welcome.
I remember when developing Yhc on a really low powered computer, it
had around 200 modules and loaded from scratch (with all the Prelude
etc) in about 3 seconds on Hugs. ghc --make took about that long to
start compiling the first file, and I think a complete compile was
around 5 minutes. It's one of the main reasons I stuck with Hugs for
so long.
Running GHC in parallel with --make would be nice, but I find on
Windows that the link time is the bottleneck for most projects.
Thanks, Neil

Recently the "go" language was announced at golang.org. There's not a lot in there to make a haskeller envious, except one real big one: compilation speed. The go compiler is wonderfully speedy.
are you seen hugs, for example? i think that ghc is slow because it's written in haskell and compiled by itself
hugs provides good interactive environment and good ghc compatibility, you can use conditional compilation to hide remaining differences. unfortunately, many haskell libs doesn't support hugs
