Graphics library very slow

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

By "this code is currently broken", I'm sure you are right, but which
code you mean exactly?  The Win32 binding for GHC?  Or the Hugs Graphics
Library (HGL) implementation for GHC?  

It'd be good to have a Trac bug report, specifying as precisely as
possible what is broken.
