Hello, Yet another data point would be my current use of Haskell in various integer factorization activities where I would consider the performance, even for relatively large integers (say, 100-1000 decimal digits) very important. However, I wouldn't complain if some simple and manageable

The usual way to do this would be to include the dependency on the RTS in the library and then vary the RTS by using LD_PRELOAD. I think ghc does it the wrong way. -- Lennart On Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 10:00 PM, Max Bolingbroke batterseapo...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi Tyson, This blog post
