the best way to optimize Haskell program (with current technologies)
is to rewrite it in strict & imperative manner:

>> cam_snap_3 cam f x =
>>   let end = snap_size cam
>>       loop ptr n x | ptr `seq` n `seq` x `seq` False = undefined
>>                    | n >= end = return x
>>                    | otherwise = do 
>>         r <- peek ptr
>>         g <- peek (advancePtr ptr 1)
>>         b <- peek (advancePtr ptr 2)
>>         loop (advancePtr ptr 3) (n+3) (f r g b n x)
>>   in loop (cam_img cam) 0 x
