 Hi, let's consider the following code:

 {{{

 {-# LANGUAGE Strict #-}  -- Comment/uncommenting this
 {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}

 module K where

 import Control.Monad.Trans
 import qualified Control.Monad.State.Strict as S
 import Control.Monad.Primitive

 newtype StateT s m a = StateT (S.StateT s m a) -- S is
 Control.Monad.State.Strict
   deriving (Functor, Applicative, Monad, MonadTrans)

 instance PrimMonad m => PrimMonad (StateT s m) where
   type PrimState (StateT s m) = PrimState m
   primitive ~a = lift (primitive a) ; {-# INLINE primitive #-}
 }}}

 If compiled with `-XStrict` this code is not inlined properly and it badly
 affects the performance. While discussing it on Haskell IRC `lyxia` helped
 very much with discovering the CORE differences. The lazy version has
 couple of things which the strict version is missing in form of
 `[InlPrag=INLINE (sat-args=0)]` on toplevel identifiers.
