Thanks for writing this up so clearly.
I'm +1 on the proposal as written. I think the (smallish) drawbacks are
mitigated by the fact that the whole feature is opt-in.
Implementation should be relatively straightforward.
Thanks,
Richard

I have noticed sluggish behaviour in ghci (ghc-7.8.3, OS X 10.9.5). In my case
at least, it seems to be caused by the idle time full garbage collection that
happens after 0.3s of idle time by default.
When you have say 300MB of live data in the heap, a major GC can take 0.5s or
so, and this is

Foruntately, the idle time GC can be turned off by running ghci +RTS -I0, and
when I do that the problem goes away. Alternatively, using a longer timeout
(e.g. -I2) is enough to prevent the major GCs from happening
