Re: Haskell's efficiency

As one of the authors of this paper, I'd like to echo Manuel's warning about quoting out of context. The paper is about Haskell as a tool in designing and presenting algorithms, not about performance. The Haskell program was written for clarity, to explain a fairly tricky algorithm. The figures a
