Here's something I just stumbled upon by accident: at least on Linux,
GHC emits huge numbers of symbols into the binaries it generates.
Here's Haddock, which I compiled without any funny debug options:
$ du -h haddock-0.9
4.1M haddock-0.9
$ nm haddock-0.9 | wc -l
37938
$ strip haddock-0.9
$ du -

I see that Dan Doel's post favoring Ptr/Addr#
has the same allocation amounts (from +RTS -sstderr) for Ptr/Addr# and the
MutableByteArray#
Everyone else sees more allocation for Ptr/Addr# than MBA# and see MBA# as
faster in these cases.
I myself (on G4) see more allocation [just like Simon M

Issue 2: Reading from/writing to a MutableByteArray# is slower than an Addr#
This is, I think, the crux of the issue. The main content of the benchmark is
reversing/shifting items in an array. To get a somewhat easier look at the
core, I boiled things down to a benchmark that
