[Haskell-cafe] SMP parallelism increasing GC time dramatically

[Tom Thorne]

Thanks, I would except that my code, whilst pure, uses hmatrix, and hmatrix
uses lapack internally and so presumably calls FFI functions. As far as I
know lapack ought to be thread safe, but potentially the way it interfaces
with haskell in hmatrix isn't. I don't want to blame hmatrix since it is an
excellent library but I can't rule it out and I'm not sure how to pinpoint
where exactly it is happening.

I'm going to try and modify my code to use a pure haskell implementation and
see if the segfaults go away..
