It's only have half of this. I've mixed up "du -s" (showing Blocks) and
"du -sh". My tree also included a binary-dist.

-bash-3.00$ du -s
2266972 .
-bash-3.00$ du -sh
 1.1G   .
-bash-3.00$ cd ghc-6.6/    #this is the binary-dist only
-bash-3.00$ du -sh
 331M   .

Judging from the first and last created files (below) it took 9 hours on
my machine:
