why you think it's a lazy? :)  ST monad is just the same as IO monad
internally, only types are different (there is also Lazy.ST monad -
this is really lazy)

10-20 times difference is typical for GHC programs. i think that
better results are observed only when C version is really bound by
memory speed (that is rather typical situation)

use JHC if you need to generate really fast code. or use ocaml/clean
