Using bang patterns didn't help almost anything here. Using rem
instead of mod made the time go from 45s to 40s. Now, using -fvia-C
really helped (when I used rem but not using mod). It went down to
10s.
Bang patterns should have helped tons - it isn't GHC thats at fault
here and yes it does tco. I attached a version w/ excessive bangs
below. Did you compile with "ghc --make -O3 -fforce-recomp"?
Does -O3 actually do anything? GHC only goes up to -O2.
Well GHC has an -O3[1], but it's not a good idea to use it. Some of the
"optimizations" that -O3 does can result in slower code for particular
programs. Whereas -O2 is safe and never results in pessimizations.
[1] Unless recent versions have removed it.
