Comment (by darchon):

 Experience has shown that, across the board, turning on the simplifier:
 - reduces compile times (going from Haskell description to circuit)
 - results in circuits are smaller
 - results circuits are faster

 I would hence rather not disable the simplifier. Do note that I actually
 run with a very specific set of transformations: https://github.com/clash-
