Comment(by jstolarek):

 Regarding performance, are the results for `filter` shown
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/PrimBool#Benchmarks here]
 convincing, or do we want a more sophisticated example? These results do
 show that it is possible to get a significant speedup, even with very
 simple functions.
