I'm fairly new to Haskell and the Haskell community, but I can say from my
experience of hacking on GHC, the GHC team of developers are very interested
in performance improvements, e.g. this thread is about performance!  So
Bulat, why don't you hack on GHC yourself and help improve the compiler?  Or
suggest detailed improvements since you seem capable of citing specific
examples?

Thank you.
