This problem is gone when I install and use fgl-5.3 (where "hiding
(indices)" needs to be deleted in Data.Graph.Inductive.Monad.IOArray).

I strongly suspect the new functions context1l' and context4l' in
Data.Graph.Inductive.Graph (fgl-5.4.1) to be the reason for our drastic
slow down.

In fgl-5.3 the functions fst4 and fth4 have been used instead. A cyclic
edge (an edge from and to the very same node) was only returned as
ingoing edge and not as outgoing one. (a design decision documented
elsewhere).

I think, the change in fgl-5.4.1 now returns a cyclic edge also as
outgoing edge (and possibly twice as ingoing one).

Our application heavily uses in- and outgoing edges that may be cyclic.

P.S. ghc-6.6.1/libraries/fgl/Setup.hs does not compile with ghc-6.6.1
