[Haskell-cafe] using Map rather than FiniteMap

[S. Alexander Jacobson]

Oops.  It pays to check your checking code before 
making posts like this.

After actually running the correct test, I am 
still getting semi-ridiculous space behavior 
(6k/pair)!

    import qualified Map
    zipped =zip [1..] [1..100000]::[(Int,Int)]
    untup f (x,y) = f x y
    produce = foldr (untup Map.insert) Map.empty zipped
    fm = length  $ Map.keys produce
    main = print $ fm

Has this profile:

 	   example +RTS -p -K5M -RTS

 	total time  =        5.10 secs   (255 ticks @ 20 ms)
 	total alloc = 612,534,236 bytes  (excludes profiling overheads)

    	COST CENTRE                    MODULE               %time %alloc
 	balance                        Map                   71.8   72.8
 	insert                         Map                   12.2   10.8
 	size                           Map                    9.0    9.7
 	bin                            Map                    2.4    2.2
 	rotateR                        Map                    1.6    0.3
 	zipped                         Main                   0.8    1.9

Notice the 612Mb for storing a mapping from Int 
to Int!!

Also 5M of stack is required to make this work.

Can anyone help?
