In all likelhood, ghc is spotting that the value e' is not used, and that there
are no side-effects, so it does not do anything at runtime. If you expand the
action argument to replicateM, such that it uses do-notation instead, perhaps
ghc can no longer prove the lack of side-effects, and so actually runs the
computation before throwing away its result.
When writing toy benchmarks in a lazy language, it is always important to
understand to what extent your program _uses_ the data from a generator, or you
are bound to get misleading performance measurements.
