Ok, done:

   real	49m7.369s
   user	45m21.642s
   sys	0m18.893s

   814 MB used


This is better memory usage, respect to:

   real	7m17.853s
   user	3m38.506s
   sys	0m7.612s

   1586 MB used


However, Kenneth Hoste reported (http://boegel.kejo.be/):

   26 minutes, with 700 MB used.


Maybe he was using the latest GHC version.
I would also like to check how performances are with other functional 
languages.
