Jan-Willem Maessen writes (in the Haskell Cafe):

My ultimate goal was parallelization. However, I'm now convinced it would take about 2-3 programmer-years more of effort to realize that goal. Parallel garbage collection (which is *not* optional on a parallel Haskell implementation, as our experience with pH demonstrated) and very fine-grained thunk-update protocols are both tricky technical challenges. And that leaves aside the question of whether there's enough coarse-grained work buried among all that fine-grained work to make it all worthwhile.

I'm not sure how to interpret this. Will you also have solved the granularity problem in these two to three years?
