I've used ghc-6.12.3. My top-level file is Bench.hs:

--
import Criterion.Main
import Interspersing

testCase f = print . length . f ','

main = do
  let s = replicate  10000000 'A'
  print $ length s
  defaultMain [ bench "isgo" $ testCase isgo s
              , bench "isrec" $ testCase isrec s ]
--

(using Daniel's Interspersing module)

I compiled by:
  ghc -O2 -fforce-recomp -fext-core --make Bench.hs

and ran:
  ./Bench -s 10

Yes, and after years, you'll sometimes find out that your pragmas, bangs
and other quirks actually made things worse.

Cheers Christian
