FWIW, I've optimised this to a point where I'm happy with it, and you can see the results here: http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen/Foreign/C/UTF8.hs I was using ghc-6.6 back in June, and an upgrade to 6.6.1 fixed some of the issues for me (e.g. unboxing Ptrs, bang-patterns differ from seq). I sent a test case to Simon PJ about the duplicated code in the simplifier output, but I can't tell if it's been added as a trac ticket.
