I have not done benchmarking myself yet, but in
<http://www.brookes.ac.uk/~p0071749/papers/bridging.ps.gz>
they describe an algorithm for text formatting.

          | lines | chars | size(KB) | time(s) | memory(KB) |
----------+-------+-------+----------+---------+------------+
 Haskell  |   163 |  4640 |      410 |    45.2 |       4505 |
 Modula-2 |   551 | 10005 |       74 |    18.6 |        356 |
 C++      |   389 |  5832 |      328 |     3.9 |        368 |

It is not quite fair because in Modula-2 and C++ all data structures
were of fixed size, but...
