Increased memory usage with GHC 7.10.1

I think this helps quite a bit. Although it still peaks briefly at over 3
GB mem usage on my Mac according to the Activity Monitor it seems to spend
much of its time using 400 - 800 mb memory use. I can't be sure as I never
tried to compile this before. I'm compiling by simply doing cabal install
.... Not sure what optimization levels that uses, I assume -O1
