GHC doesn't count reductions, or anything approximating it.  Reductions 
is a pretty arbitrary measure of performance, I suggest you use 
allocations as a better approximation, or better still just measure real 
time.  You can get reasonable figures using a compiled binary and 
running it with +RTS -sstderr.
