Hi cafe,
Just wanted to inform you that I've been benchmarking my compute-intensive
stuff on ghc 7.0.4 vs 7.4.0, and 7.4.0 gave a large speedup - one program
that took 2.9s on a particular input is now taking 2.2s. This result is
repeatable.
So I encourage people to try out GHC 7.4.0. Some stuff may stop compiling
(I had to do 3 basically one-line fixes in 3 packages before I got mine to
compile), but I didn't encounter other problems.
Below is +RTS -s of two runs: one compiled with ghc 7.4.0 and another with
7.0.4.
I can make a more detailed comparison if it's useful and if someone tells
me how - I thought about including +RTS -p, but Simon Marlow wrote recently
that it has started giving meaningful results only in 7.4, so comparison
with 7.0.4 would be unfair.
However in this case I'm sure that the program is heavily compute-bound by
the following two functions (because it's always compute-bound by them):
1)
https://github.com/jkff/timeplot/blob/master/Tools/TimePlot/Plots.hs#L226
2) https://github.com/jkff/timeplot/blob/master/Tools/TimePlot/Conf.hs -
localToUTC and strptime.
