Changes (by simonpj):

 * cc: kavon@… (added)


Comment:

 I'm puzzled. The changes in comment:3 change `letrec` into `joinrec`,
 which ought to be a straight win.

 I'm adding Kavon in cc because he is interested in this back-end stuff.

 More insight into where the regression comes from would be helpful, if
 anyone has time to dig in.
