Comment (by mpickering):

 I cloned the repo -
 https://github.com/composewell/streamly/tree/199e20dd4b62ac2dafea0a40dc2ce3d97c307542

 Checked out commit - 199e20dd4b62ac2dafea0a40dc2ce3d97c307542

 I could build all the dependencies with ghc-8.2.2.

 Then I ran in in the root of the repo

 {{{
 ghc benchmarks/Main.hs -isrc/ -O2
 }}}

 and then ran the executable.

 The benchmark numbers were slower than doing the same without `-O2`.
