CAFs are, AIUI, things that are just values (i.e. things that don't take an argument) that have been floated up to the top level. Compiling with -caf-all might give you more useful information. If that doesn't help then you might find it helpful to look at heap profiles rather than just the normal profiler output. > Why are there functions that inherit all of their (considerable) > time and space consumption from elsewhere, but nothing in the > list would allow for such a rich inheritage? I didn't understand that. If it's possible to give a small example then that might help?
