afaik, ST efficient only with small enough arrays. one time i tried
STArray of about 100 000 elements and seen that things goes much worse
than in IO monad with IOArray. on small arrays STArray performs good
enough

(i was trying to create sorting routine. afair, it was an insert sort)

That is weird, because in base/GHC/IOBase.lhs, IOArray is constructed
on top of STArray:

newtype IOArray i e = IOArray (STArray RealWorld i e)

But maybe ghc has some special treatment of IOArray.
