Comment (by _recursion):

 > Because of that, GHC was taking **12gb+** to compile some files. I found
 that omitting the interfaces pragmas with `-fomit-interface-pragmas` was
 helping a lot. In fact, no more unfolded type in the interface file,
 making the dumped .txt file going from **3.5gb** to **700kb** with a
 maximum allocated memory of **2.5gb**.

 Doing this has been an ''immense'' help for Luna. Compile times on my
 machine, which is no slouch, have gone from just over one hour to a hair
 over six minutes.
