Comment(by morabbin):

 These all compile on an 8Gb RAM Macbook Pro without running out of memory.
 RF00549.hs produces a 52Mb .o! Sure, they take a few hours to compile, but
 they don't fail, nor do they appear to eat all the memory (i.e., my
 machine was not rendered useless). It seemed quite acceptable to me, given
 the sizes of the files.
