Comment (by simonpj):

 Did you use `-ddump-inlinings`?  Could you add `-ddump-occur-anal -ddump-
 stg`.  Can you combine stdout and stderr together?

 I'm not sure which is which, because directory `step2/` contains files
 labelled `step3` and vice versa!

 Since you are zipping, you could bundle all three in one.

 Thanks!  As you'll see, the ticky numbers are revealing.  But it looks as
 if step1 allocates least.  Is step3 really faster?

 Simon
