I was simply using -O3. I tried a bunch of other flags (copied from
the shootout examples) but they made no appreciable difference.

I was getting about 1.5s for the Haskell program and about 0.08s for
the C one with the same n=10,000,000.

I now see that my ghc is in fact an i386 build whose binary was
downloaded from the ghc binary web page. So I'm going to try to make a
better comparison with a 64 bit 6.8.1. The batteries on my laptop will
probably drop to zero before then however, so it'll be tomorrow at the
earliest.
