interesting, my patch, as bad as it was for compiler performance,
improved the runtime of cryptarithm1 by the amount it regressed due to 

commit d1179c4bff6d05cc9e86eee3e2d2cee707983c90

    ghc-prim: Delay inlining of {gt,ge,lt,le}Int to phase 1

as you can nicely see in this graph:
https://perf.haskell.org/ghc/#graph/nofib/time/cryptarithm1;hl=d1179c4bff6d05cc9e86eee3e2d2cee707983c90
(sorry, the relevant bits will move out of the window as more commits
come in. This is something I need to improve in gipeda).

There seems to be a performance non-continuity triggered by very small
changes. *shrug*, for now. But if anyone feels like investigating, I’d
be eager to hear you find.

Greetings,
Joachim
