For loading large amounts of code into GHCi, you want to add -j<n> +RTS -A128m where <n> is the number of cores on your machine. We've found that parallel compilation works really well in GHCi provided you use a nice large allocation area for the GC. This dramatically speeds up working with large numbers of modules in GHCi. (500 is small!)
