Great! Thanks for y'all putting effort towards performance. It really is crucial for developer productivity.
In the particular case of haskell-src-exts, I found that removing many of the more complicated typeclasses from deriving (Data, Generics, etc) brought the compilation time way down. IIRC it was pretty drastic, like 40 seconds vs 10 seconds (that could be just the timing for that one types module though, I don't recall). Could be valuable to investigate exactly what's going on there. -Michael On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 2:00 PM, Ömer Sinan Ağacan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Using Ben's timing patch [^1], Cabal, and a Haskell program to parse > generated > logs [^2], I generated some tables that show compile times of modules in > hxt, > haskell-src-exts, lens, and all of their dependencies: > > > https://gist.githubusercontent.com/osa1/fd82335181a584679c9f3200b7b0a8a5/raw/5d46b0e7006c7ef9fae913f7d6932b74c83835f1/gistfile1.txt > > Some notes: > > - Modules and passes in modules are sorted. > > - At the end of the file you can see the cumulative numbers for the > passes.
