Anecdotes have little value, but for what it's worth: in around 5 years of ghc use, I have never, not even once, wanted to load the module I was working on in its compiled form. I've occasionally noticed that dependent modules get loaded quickly from their .o's and thought that was handy, but that's all. During that time I have many times been annoyed that a .hs file which I load from the command line or via :load (or via C-c C-l in emacs mode) get loaded in interpreted form :)
I found compiled modules useful in GHCi when using computation intensive functions, like those for signal processing.
