[Haskell-cafe] Need help - my haskell code is over 50 times slower than equivalent perl implementation

[Stuart A. Kurtz]

Might it be more efficient to bypass counting altogether, and just use the Haskell version of stat?

getFileSize :: FilePath -> IO Int64
getFileSize path = do
	stat <- getFileStatus path
	let COff fs = fileSize stat
	return fs

Peace,

Stu
