I don't know all that much about profiling/optimization. But one
simple thing occurs to me -- does it help to change inDisc to
inDisc (Disc r p1 _) p2 = (distsqr p1 p2) <= r*r
distsqr :: Point -> Point -> Double
distsqr (x1, y1) (x2, y2) = (x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2
Then you avoid using sqrt. Also there's no need to use ** since you
are taking a positive integral power. (^2) will optimize to just a
single multiplication, whereas I have no idea what (**2) does, it's
probably much slower.
You could even store the square of the radius in Disc, then you also
avoid having to compute r*r every time.

You were right. I have changed the code to
distance' :: Point â Point â Double
distance' (x1, y1) (x2, y2) = (x1 - x2)*(x1 - x2) + (y1 - y2)*(y1 - y2)
inDisc :: Disc â Point â Bool
inDisc (Disc r p1 _) p2 = (distance' p1 p2) ⤠r*r
There was not any performance improvement by changing ** to ^.
Why is * faster that **2 or ^2?
Note: The change reduced run time to 1.24 sec.

I'm trying to use Network.FastCGI with Apache2, but running into an error.
I'd like to believe that the web server is configured correctly, because I
can successfully view the following, compiled to <web
root>/fastcgi/test.fcgi:
#include <fcgi_stdio.h>
int main(void){
int count = 0;
while(FCGI_Accept()>=0){
printf("Content-Type: text/html\r\n");
printf("\r\n");
printf("Hello, World: %d", count++);
}
return 0;
}
Now I compile Fcgi.hs to <web root>/fastcgi/test2.fcgi:
import Control.Concurrent
import Network.FastCGI
action :: CGI CGIResult
action = do
setHeader "Content-type" "text/plain"
tid <- liftIO myThreadId
output $ unlines
[ "I am a FastCGI process!"
, "Hear me roar!"
, ""
, show tid
]
main = runFastCGIConcurrent' forkIO 10 action
When I view localhost/fastcgi/test.fcgi, I get the hello world page, but
attempting to view test2.fcgi shows an 'Internal Server Error" in firefox.
The apache error log says:
