Comment (by tdammers):

 Interesting: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/7258/ghc-
 large-record-types-cmm-per-core.png

 For the three offenders (read, show, read-appl), the C--/Core ratio goes
 *up* as the total code size grows, for the well-behaved examples it goes
 down. The latter is expected (constant overhead + linear code size), the
 former hints at some sort of nonlinearity.
