[Haskell-cafe] GHC vs GCC vs JHC

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi John,

Any chance of seeing the benchmark? You're not the only one with an
optimising compiler tucked away somewhere :-)

I have one "benchmark" where I outperform GHC by 21 times, although
saying it's artificial is a bit of an understatement...

Thanks, Neil
