[Haskell-cafe] Re: Optimizing a high-traffic network architecture

[Joel Reymont]

My apologies if this has been described somewhere but what is MUT time?

Also, isn't 30% GC a bit high? This is something that totally  
surprised me when I first saw it as my program was spending 60-70% on  
GC.

Is there a good low % number that should be used as a benchmark?

	Thanks, Joel
