Comment (by rwbarton):

 Well, the data declaration does define ~3000 record accessors, each of
 which pattern matches on a record with ~3000 fields... it's easy for some
 things to become quadratic (intermediate program code size,
 strictness/demand info) even if in the end, the code size is only linear.
