Dear Günther,
the map can't be consumed while it is constructed. At any point during
its construction you don't know for any key in the map if it will appear
in the not cosumed rest of the list again. This means you can't process
any entry of the map because it may change later. The only point when
nothing will change anymore is when the map is completely constructed.
Regards,
Martin.

let say I got an unordered lazy list of key/value pairs like

So far I wrote a naive implementation, using Data.Map, foldl and
insertWith.
Data.Map.fromListWith (+)
The building of this map is of course a bottleneck, the successive
processing needs to wait until the entire list is eventually consumed
the Map is built and flattened again.
Sure this is not an artifact of the laziness of foldl?
well I can't really see how the map could be consumed *while* it's still
being built, I just don't see it. (I'm using foldl' and insertWith', sry
for not saying so initially).
Is there another way of doing this, something more "streaming
architecture" like?
I don't see how you can do this much better - for a small, fixed set
of keys, you could use an (STU) array for the sums, but it depends if
the added complexity is worth it. You're already doing a single pass
over the data.
