Faster than *what* C, though?

With Haskell, there's seldom a significant performance hit for using
-fvia-C, so you would probably have been able to get comparable
performance using C.

The most common reason for Haskell to outperform C is due to lazy
evaluation, i.e. the C code evaluates things which it doesn't actually
need to.
