No, they might produce code with different performance characteristics. Which is very much what you want; there is no way to compile Haskell such that reasonable-looking code is a) Fast and b) Predictably performant. The idea of Haskell is to abstract away from the predictable performance of the code by a) using a good compiler, and b) putting absolute un-questioning faith in your profiler. jcc _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
