I tried compiling the same file with -H512M -M512M instead of -M1024M,
keeping all other options the same. I got the following results:

<<ghc: 3763646968 bytes, 33 GCs, 17879484/44290920 avg/max bytes residency (6
samples), 528M in use, 0.00 INIT (0.83 elapsed), 54.89 MUT (116.82 elapsed),
9.58 GC (11.56 elapsed) :ghc>>

With -O0, I get:

<<ghc: 1482033536 bytes, 26 GCs, 9519452/29147696 avg/max bytes residency (5
samples), 515M in use, 0.00 INIT (0.28 elapsed), 15.27 MUT (69.29 elapsed),
2.63 GC (2.92 elapsed) :ghc>>

This is better than before, but it still seems pretty slow; any other
suggestions?

Thanks,
Kirsten
