We did investigate it - the details are in this trac ticket:
    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2328
but the conclusion was that overall it was best to leave things as they
are. Unfortunately, this means that performance with GHC 6.8.3 is worse
for DoCon; hopefully things will be better with 6.10.1!


Thanks
Ian
