I don't know GHC internals, but from the description of the program (and
the fact that you don't use more than one core), I wonder why you use
-threaded?

How does the behaviour change if you use a single-threaded runtime?

(I'm asking this as the single-threaded runtime can be much faster in
certain use-cases.)
