Comment(by simonmar):

 Further on this: we discovered that there are two things going on, neither
 of which is #5623.

  * Some fusion isn't happening on a `map f [x,y..z]` because the list is
 being floated out before the RULE can fire.  Simon is looking into
 declaring `enumFromTo` and friends as `CONLIKE`, which might fix this
 problem.  (this regression first appeared in 7.0; the fusion ''did''
 happen in 6.12.3)

  * There is an opportunity for CSE which 7.0 spots but later versions
 don't.  It is probably a bug in `blackscholes.hs` itself:

 {{{
    nofXd1 = cndf xD1
    nofXd2 = cndf xD1
 }}}

  Regardless, we don't know why CSE is not catching this any more, and we
 plan to look into it.
