Performance week 25/6-29/6

[Simon Marlow]

Hi folks,

We're planning to attack performance issues next week.  I've put up a
wiki page here:

   http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/GhcPerformance

We're interested in performance issues with both GHC itself and
GHC-compiled code.  Please add any programs or modules that you think
should compile/run faster, or any hair-brained schemes you have for
improving performance.  

And free free to get involved!  If you have anecdotes, information about
any of the known issues, or want to tackle something, post here or
cvs-ghc at haskell.org, or join the #haskell IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net.

Cheers,
	Simon
