[Haskell-cafe] what is the fastest way to extract variables from a proposition?

[Cetin Sert]

sert at elite:~/workspace/Haskell-1/bin$ time ./theResult sert
1000001

real    0m1.384s
user    0m1.148s
sys     0m0.112s

sert at elite:~/workspace/Haskell-1/bin$ time ./theResult bromage
1000001

real    0m2.240s
user    0m1.972s
sys     0m0.176s

sert at elite:~/workspace/Haskell-1/bin$ time ./theResult bromage
10000001

real    0m59.875s
user    0m58.080s
sys     0m1.656s

sert at elite:~/workspace/Haskell-1/bin$ time ./theResult sert
10000001

real    0m32.043s
user    0m30.930s
sys     0m0.992s


Hutton seems to fail miserably in both lengths here o_O

I was not aware of the effect of structures on performance.
Thanks for reminding me!
