Perhaps making a collective effort towards benchmarking Haskell programs and analyzing the results in some methodic way could prove helpful?
In which way? Using hardware performance counter metrics on actual hardware? Or determining which bottlenecks occur with Haskell programs in binary form (in terms of data locality and the lot)? Is there a 'Haskell-program benchmark suite' out there? greetings, Kenneth -- Statistics are like a bikini.
