every array needs ~30 bytes - it's a minimal memory block ghc can
alloc for variable-sized objects. multiple this by 3 to account for
copying GC behavior
Ok, this explains memory usage; thanks.
IMHO, this informations should go in the wiki; they may be insignificant
for normal applications, but when one starts to deal with huge amount of
data, 10 bytes per item make an important difference.
