1) "-A400m" is a bit unusual. "-H400m" for 500-meg machine, "-H800m"
for 1g computer and so on will be fastest. current GHC doc leaks
explanations in this area, but basically -H just allocates that much
area and then dynamically changes -A after each GC allocating all
available space to the generation-0 memory pool

2) it's better to say that was MUT and GC times in your program, and
even better just to post its output with "+RTS -sstderr"

please post improved results here. that's really interesting for me,
and for my programs too ;)
