The runtime loader stuff I'm working on[1] takes around 10 seconds to compile ... and 3 minutes to link it with libHSbase and libHSrts. (This is on a 500MHz PIII). Linking is a huge bottleneck once you start linking in the Haskell libraries; ld takes up enormous amounts of CPU time resolving symbols, I think. 1. http://www.algorithm.com.au/wiki/hacking/haskell.ghc_runtime_loading -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - trust.in.love.to.save _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
