I have been told that you could pretty much literally implement the algorithms
from the problem specification with  Seq  from  Data.Sequence  and achieve
acceptable speed (IIRC ~ one minute for generating a whole picture).

Are you sure that there is no unintentional bug in your implementation that
slows things down?
