Comment(by igloo):
Most of the regression comes from this patch:
{{{
commit 980372f357667c1ba63b28acbf5798826890b7a5
Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simo...@microsoft.com>
Date: Wed May 9 16:22:49 2012 +0100
Re-do the "function application discount" (fixes Trac #6048)
}}}
(the SimplCont patches also made things a bit worse, but I haven't looked
into that at all).
I think that the problem is more/bigger inlinings, rather than a space
leak in GHC itself. I'll attach `CopyFile.hs`, and `before.txt` and
`after.txt` showing the interface files before and after this patch is
applied.
