Sorry, I did not express myself correctly I guess. I did not mean different behavior regarding the results that are computed (because that's the great thing about Haskell; this is called "referentially transparent" isn't it?), but I meant different time/space behavior. I'm not sure where I read this "rumor", but if I recall correctly, it had to do with FRP (functional reactive programming), where it was stated that is was really difficult to make sure that no space/time leaks occurred when the user started combining functions in some way. But I might have understood it incorrectly; after all, I'm still in the learning process.
