Comment (by simonmar):

 Replying to [comment:3 SamB]:
 > Well, what about using -fobject-code then?

 Yes, that would make the problem smaller.  However you may have noticed
 that `-fobject-code` doesn't currently apply to expressions typed at the
 prompt, so that would need to change.  And you'd get no debugging support.
 And we'd need to modify Cabal to generate profiled GHCi libraries, as you
 pointed out earlier (and modify GHCi to load the profiled versions).

 So it's possible, but not the work of an afternoon.
