Yes, that's exactly what I mean (you also need to reverse each chunk for
this particular problem). 

Of course, it remains to see how well it performs in practice - it's not
something I would expect to get right at the first attempt (I haven't
used parallelism much so far).

Several of the shootout benchmarks suffer from using only one CPU, so
given Haskell/GHCs claim for easy concurrency, there should be some
relatively low-hanging fruit there.
