 property of GHC GC then the language itself

In my experience the garbage collector was not the problem in real-time
applications, but memory leaks that make the garbage collector slow.

deliverable:
 At this very moment I'm struggling with fitting a huge graph of
 Twitter communications into a Haskell program.  Apparently it gets
 into a loop freeing memory.  As I suspected, JVM garbage collector got
 more testing than Haskell at this scale; since not many people load it
 up as much, it may be less tested.  

Did you talk to Simon Marlow yet? Unlike the JVM, we provide direct
access to the GC developers when you run into trouble. :)

Surely the GHC developers are amoung the busiest people on the planet 
though...
