it was in 6.4. in 6.6 it has the same speed as IOArray

the Arrays wiki page was written primarily by me and suggestion to use
unsafeCoerce# based solely on the code fragment i just citated. so
this page is broken in that it says primarily about rather old 6.4
version and that it suggests unreliable trick without much
understanding of ghc intrinsics :)
