OK, if somebody wants to speculate (and if it even makes sense for
such a microbenchmark) here are some more data.
Except different OS and C++ compiler also processor is different.
On my side it was AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (2.4GHz, 2x1MiB L2 cache
non-shared; C&Q was not switched off during the test). The system has
2GiB RAM. The C++ version had working set about 1.7 MiB, ghc version
had it about 2 times bigger.

Hello all,

just to compare the stuff, I get quite other results being on other OS. Thus, the result of C++ compiler may not be that interesting as I do not have the one presented below.

My machine:
Linux 2.6.23-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 22 12:50:26 CEST 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

ghc --version

Measurement:

time ./mainC
real    0m0.271s
user    0m0.270s
sys     0m0.000s

I don't know what is the reason, but the difference between Int, Int64 and Integer is not that dramatic as in example below, nevertheless, the difference between GHC and GNU C++ is very bad.... :-\

Try with rem instead of mod.

(What the heck is with bottom?)

The bottom was there by error and I was lazy to redo
 the tests so I rather posted exactly what I was
 doing. I do not know the compiler that good to be
 absolutely sure it cannot have impact on result
 ... so I rather did not doctor what I did :-)

Ok, rem did help quite a bit. Any comments why it is so?

Here are summary of results for those interested. I run
 all the tests once again. Haskell was about 13% slower
 than C++.

MS cl.exe options: /Ox /G7 /MD
ghc options: -O2

C++ version:  1.000; 0.984; 0.984
Haskell version specialized to Int: 1.125; 1.125; 1.109
Haskell version specialized to Integer: 8.781; 8.813; 8.813
Haskell version specialized to Int64: 9.781; 9.766; 9.831

The code:

% cat b.hs
module Main (divisors, perfect, main) where
import Data.Int

divisors :: Int -> [Int]
divisors i = [j | j<-[1..i-1], i `rem` j == 0]

perfect :: [Int]
perfect = [i | i<-[1..10000], i == sum (divisors i)]

main = print perfect

% cat b.cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  for (int i = 1; i <= 10000; i++) {
    int sum = 0;
    for (int j = 1; j < i; j++)
      if (i % j == 0)
        sum += j;
    if (sum == i)
      cout << i << " ";
  }
  return 0;
}
