I have tried this, and there seems to be a slight but measurable performance penalty. Accordingly, I have removed -threaded from the default ghc-options upstream. It's probably not worth updating the debian packages, except perhaps in the case of sparc, since the change might allow pandoc to compile there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
