I made some changes to the storage manager in the runtime today, and fixed the slop problem with your program. Here it is after the changes:

 14,928,031,040 bytes allocated in the heap
    313,542,200 bytes copied during GC
     18,044,096 bytes maximum residency (7 sample(s))
        294,256 bytes maximum slop
37 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)

 INIT    time    0.00s  (  0.00s elapsed)
 MUT     time    6.38s  (  6.39s elapsed)
 GC      time    1.26s  (  1.26s elapsed)
 EXIT    time    0.00s  (  0.00s elapsed)
 Total   time    7.64s  (  7.64s elapsed)

I think this is with a different workload than the one you used above. Before the change I was getting

 15,652,646,680 bytes allocated in the heap
    312,402,760 bytes copied during GC
     17,913,816 bytes maximum residency (9 sample(s))
    111,424,792 bytes maximum slop
142 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)

 INIT  time    0.00s  (  0.00s elapsed)
 MUT   time    8.01s  (  8.02s elapsed)
 GC    time   16.86s  ( 16.89s elapsed)
 EXIT  time    0.00s  (  0.00s elapsed)
 Total time   24.88s  ( 24.91s elapsed)

(GHC 7.0.3 on x86-64/Linux) So, a pretty dramatic improvement. I'm validating the patch right now, it should be in 7.2.1.


This looks really promising. Let me know when the patch is available, and I'll try it out on my real code.

Thanks,

Tim
