Is that inherent in Haskell (or laziness) or is it just an artifact of the current GHC implementation? Would the problem be solved by making my arrays strict or by using Unboxed arrays? Is there a faster array implementation around? -Alex- PS I'm sorry if these are obvious beginner questions. I would really realy like to use Haskell for a production web application and am trying to work through the various issues. It is hard to find information on these sorts of things and the absense of field testing means you just have to ask these questions in advance. _________________________________________________________________ S.
