Comment (by thomie):

 Todo:
 * figure out the `-H64m` story. See https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail
 /glasgow-haskell-users/2015-May/025917.html.


 I found this bit of wisdom by Simon Marlow,
 https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-March/004344.html:

 > > Just wondering: that '-H64m' is from some old times (pre 2007?).
 > > GHC seems to eat way more RAM nowadays. Is this bit relevant at all?
 >
 > It still speeds up compilation a bit, but a larger -H value might be
 more appropriate > for today's machines.
