Surely you'd have to work pretty hard to get that kind of speed even
in C. ;-)
...erm, actually no. Somebody sat down and wrote something in five
minutes that takes 0.005 seconds. Oops!
You may also be paying a fixed cost penalty in GHC run-time
initialization. Try increasing N and see what happens.
Yeah. Hence the "we should use something that takes tens of seconds". ;-)
(I suppose I could try writing a nop program and timing it. But
personally I don't have any way of timing things to that degree of
accuracy. I understand there are command line tools on Unix that will do
it, but not here.)
