Comment (by nomeata):

 Which module in particular is showing the slow down?

 Does the problem go away if you `derive` less classes (in particular,
 `Data`)? (Unlikely, your data types are not big, but still worth
 checking.)

 Does the problem go away with `-fno-call-arity`? (Using this flag might be
 a suitable work-around for you to continue with your actual program.)
