I submitted improved versions for some of the benchmarks.
My feeling is that the #1 reason for ghc being slower is usually
Strings. To really do better we need a good PackedString library
combined with PackedString I/O. I believe the current PackedString
library is underperforming quite a bit - it's on my queue of things to
look into.
