Comment (by rwbarton):
Oh, the cause is hiding in plain sight, on the first line of
`Text.XmlHtml.HTML.Meta`:
{{{
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -O0 -fno-case-merge -fno-strictness -fno-cse #-}
}}}
If I add the same line to the start of the nine other modules in the
package, then `Text.XmlHtml.HTML.Meta` compiles as quickly with `-j4` as
with `-j1`. So somehow flags set by `OPTIONS_GHC` pragmas (or in this
case, their absence) are leaking between different modules being built in
parallel.
These are all dynamic flags at least, right?
