-O was turned off in both cases. (Optimization usually only accounts for
a factor of 3 -- and not 8 or even more.)

Sorry for my panic. The slow down is caused by the last change described in

http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~erwig/fgl/haskell/CHANGES

The additional loops in Data.Graph.Inductive.Graph (also added at the
end of a possibly long list) make our algorithm slower.

context1l' :: Context a b -> Adj b
context1l' (p,v,_,s) = p++filter ((==v).snd) s

context4l' :: Context a b -> Adj b
context4l' (p,v,_,s) = s++filter ((==v).snd) p

Cheers Christian
