It seems the consensus is I should have activated optimizations.
Let check that, same code in the same order (ghc, jhc, gcc).

I changed only the options for ghc and gcc. 
Below is the Makefile, you can double check.

with -O
0:09.96 real,9.86 user,0.06 sys
0:02.06 real,1.02 user,0.92 sys
0:02.80 real,2.55 user,0.00 sys

with -O2
0:09.81 real,9.70 user,0.07 sys
0:01.95 real,1.01 user,0.93 sys
0:02.57 real,2.56 user,0.00 sys

with -O3
0:09.86 real,9.78 user,0.06 sys
0:01.98 real,1.02 user,0.95 sys
0:02.63 real,2.64 user,0.00 sys

I have tried with gcc 3.4 and 4.3.2.

All results are consistent.
