 A collection of modules like this, when compiled together, are taking 2
 1/2 hrs to compile with ghc 6.10, up from 30 mins with 6.8.x

 This is slowing down a work project somewhat.

 Attached is a sample module, that should illustrate the problem, when
 compiled ghc uses 2G and takes a few minutes.
