A comparison of the evolution in speed of Haskell from version to version rather than with other languages could have been very informative about the progress in haskell speed. I think that the progression has been astonishing.
I though that while seeing this language shootout in windows http://dada.perl.it/shootout/ where ghc performance is rather mean.
