I would suggest to consider improving overall memory usage:

well, this does not tell me much, actually... xmobar is linked to everything needed to run a haskell binary in your system, and all this stuff must be loaded. have a look here: http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-lin...
Just for comparision purposes:
2982 robert 15 0 5640 2436 1528 S 0.0 0.7 0:01.95 /home/robert/bin/xmonad 2981 robert 15 0 4044 984 796 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.14 dzen2
This is just a misleading statement: dzen is using a lot of library that are already loaded into memory. This is not a useful comparison. You should know that. But if I'm getting something wrong please let me know. Anyway thanks for your kind attention. Ciao Andrea
