That is bad. Can you send a test case that demonstrates this behaviour?
OK, I'll try to put something reasonably simple together to test this
again. Last time I tested it was a probably a couple of years ago so
what I said might not be true of current ghc. The effect wasn't huge
in any case (using strict constructors was about 5% slower).
