 I refer you to https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-
 cafe/2016-January/122660.html though. I may start a suite of my own
 performance tests as I would prefer not to be caught out again.

 If you can come up with any tests that have minimal build dependencies
 (ideally none although boot libraries are acceptable) please contribute
 them to `nofib`. We are in bad need of better coverage.
