Comment:

 > Did you look at the amount of heap the compiler allocated? It's easily
 discoverable (eg use +RTS -s, and it's in the nofib logs too, though I >
 don't think nofib-analyse looks for it. (You could fix nofib-analyse so
 that it does.)

 I'm working on fixing nofib-analyse up so that we can extract compile
 allocation info.

 Thanks for the motivation, SPJ! =)
