Comment (by simonpj):

 OK, so the displayed allocation rate (displayed by -S) must be much, much,
 much lower? After all, you are saying that GHC 7.8 allocates 100x less
 data, but takes longer, so the allocation rate must be much lower too.

 Would you like to show the actual output?

 A useful thing to do is to compile everything (libraries and all, ideally,
 but not essential) with `-ticky`. That has no effect on optimisation but
 does gather per-function allocation counts.  Then run with `+RTS
 -rfoo.ticky`.  Results in file `foo.ticky`.
