Wow. A 10x slowdown for a very commonly used function that in 99.8% of all use cases has no need for the extra laziness at all. No wonder some people say Haskell is a toy language...
A toy language that is still much faster than many currently popular languages so... Is Ruby/Python/... a toy too ? Still these numbers seems odd, there's probably something that don't optimize very well here. -- Jedaï
