Well, I can't promise to; I have less time this week.
I have two strong suggestions:
* whoever does submit them should "diff" the output with a previously
accepted version.
* ensure that the file comments and submission description explain
the exact command line to compile and the exact command line to run.
And two weak suggestion:
* For speed comparisons, use an x86 architecture, ghc-6.4.1. (I made
sum-file faster for G4 but not faster in general).
* The -funbox-strict-fields can make a difference without needing
explicitly unboxed Int# everywhere.
And one observation: The wiki has been linking to the debian version
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/
but there is also nearly the same set of programs on a gentoo version
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/
So statements about ranking are often only good for one version.
Cheers,
Chris
