Note that ghc-6.8.2 is in gentoo now and has been for a few weeks. There's no reason not to use it.

Cool! It shall be done!

Great. Do let us know when its available. A couple of benchmarks will need to be tweaked in light of library changes.

I'm also hoping to see good speedups for constructor-matching heavy programs like binary-trees.

Yes that was a good speed up :-) otoh there are several failing programs... http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ghc&lang2=ghc ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Yay, constructor specialisation!

And it's nice to see GHC 6.8.2 is now nearly ten times faster than GCC for this benchmark : http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=threadring&lang=all Scary to think how fast GHC might become in 6.10 :) Richard.
