I ran a few of the tests myself on my Mac Mini G4 with 512 Mb ram. I
compiled the programs with ghc 6.6. I got different results however.
10^3 10^4 10^5
Reinke 0.7251 1.751 1m0.310s
Runciman 0.126 1.097 5m19.569s
Zilibowitz 0.07 4.668 11m45.877s
NaiveSeive 0.369 47.795 -
The NaiveSeive program ran somewhat slower on my machine than it
seemed to on yours. Also the Reinke program seemed to be faster than
Runciman on my machine. It may be to do with not having enough ram.
But I'm not too sure. Can you suggest any explanation for the
different results?

Thanks!
Comparing it to some of the algorithms in:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-February/
022765.html
It seems to perform reasonably well. It also has the advantage of
being quite short.
I've added it to my table. It's fun to find new ways to figure out
primes, but I think the "shortness advantage" goes to the naive
primes algorithm, which is faster and shorter.
