| I just finished a running Bluespec's regression suite on a version of | our tools compiled with ghc 6.8.1. The results were impressive on two | fronts: | | 1.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know Ravi. Constructor specialisation (aka call-pattern specialisation) is in 6.8.1; try -O2 and see what difference that makes. I'd be interested to know.
