Changes (by george.colpitts):

  * architecture:  x86 => Unknown/Multiple


Comment:

 Replying to [comment:20 george.colpitts]:
 Got it, length is not a good consumer, refers to list fusion
 (deforestation) as explained in e.g. 7.17.4 of the ghc 7.4.1 Users Guide.

 As this is on multiple platforms including x86, I have changed the
 architecture to Multiple/Unknown
