I have to say (and this also relates to the newbie question thread) that I don't understand why GHC fares so poorly, and I guess I find it a little frustrating.
I think it's important to keep these benchmarks in perspective, though. As Doug Bagley himself says, these kinds of benchmarks are pretty hard to interpret and are subject to a lot of noise. Extrapolating performance on small artificial problems like this to real application performance is not at all straightforward. That said, this is a small p.r. problem. -- miles "We in the past evade X, where X is something which we believe to be a lion, through the act of running." - swiftrain@geocities.com
