Dunno - I don't remember ever seeing this behaviour.
What machine/OS?
How much memory (maybe the OS is paging heavily??)
Is the file Prelude.hs (or hugs.exe) mounted over the network?
Are you using any strange configuration options?
What flags are reported by :set ?
What heap size are you using?
(Either by default or as an option, Hugs does a GC after every
evaluation. A really large heap (> 4M cells = 32Mb, say)
would take a wee while to GC. use :set +g to get a feel for this)
