Thanks very much. Just one more question: do I have to change anything when compiling xmonad and xmonad-contrib, or just use those arguments when calling 'xmonad --recompile'?
No, you'll have to compile xmonad by hand (with cabal configure -..flags ; cabal build ; cabal install).

You need to call ghc yourself instead of `xmonad --recompile', once you've built the xmonad library with profiling (as Don outlined). xmonad calls ghc for you with more or less: ghc --make xmonad.hs -i -ilib -fforce-recomp -v0 -o ~/.xmonad/xmonad-$arch-$os And `xmonad --recompile' doesn't listen to any additional flags. So you'll have to call ghc yourself, and make sure that you directly run your compiled config with appropriate flags for the RTS. -- Adam
