If I understand you correctly, you imply that I should try compiling iteratee
with profiling, no? I did install the iteratee library with profiling support (I
have the cabal profiling flag globally set in my cabal config,) but my profiles
so far seem to be blaming LAGging ByteStrings and HashMaps.

I, unfortunately, do not know how I would test iteratee itself for a space leak
here.

Since my knowledge of Haskell, and, in particular, high-performance Haskell, is
very lacking, my current m.o. is to blame myself :-) It might be iteratee, but
unfortunately, I have not found something that gives me better performance than
iteratee yet.
