I know we can perform memoization in Haskell. The well known recursive Fibonacci example works v. well. f(10000) returns a virtually instant answer which would not be possible otherwise.

My (probably naive) function to give the number of partitions of a number :-
p = ((map p' [0 .. ]) !!)
where
p' 0 = 1
p' 1 = 1
p' n = sum [(((-1) ^ (k+1)) * ( p' (n-((k*(3*k-1)) `div` 2))  +  p' 
(n-((k*(3*k+1)) `div` 2)))) | k  <- [1 .. n]]

You don't use memoization here - so why do you expect it would take place?

I have a fast implementation:
