I've got a happy grammar that takes ghc many minutes and hundreds of Mb
to typecheck if I leave off the types for all the productions.

If I add types for all the productions it's pretty quick and uses very
little memory.

But I think this is a known issue (it's mentioned in the happy manual)
and not the one you were interested in. Am I right?

I was just suprised that it is such a dramatic effect!
