One tip might be to limit available heap memory by using +RTS -M2G (or
whatever your real memory is).  If (as seems likely) the RAM usage leads to
thrashing (the symptoms being 'top' showing substantially less than 100%
CPU usage, and a less responsive system), limiting heap will cause your
program to fail faster, which is always an advantage when debugging.

Unless you actually expect the working set to be fifty gig, that is.
