Hi everyone,

that's a very simple spellchecker application: it consumes standard Linux dictionary, reads a file, and prints out words from that file that are not on the dictionary. I have taken it from a little cross-language benchmark and used to benchmark existing hash table implementations available on Hackage (with one used in code being the best according to timings). The question is: can I go further and effectively execute lookup and (maybe) output (line 20 or line 26 in the snippet) in parallel?

I'm not good at all with Haskell parallel packages; I've tried monad-parallel (naive implementation eats away all the memory available) and parallel (haven't tried Par monad yet), but the last dosn't seem to fit well with the IO operations. If anyone can give me any suggestions on how can I implement parallel execution, or any thoughts on further sequential optimizations, it would be deeply appreciated.
