Are there major inefficiencies in Haskell compared to OCaml?
If so, can something be done about them?

Can you be more specific?
Looking at the u64q shootout:

Shows the two implementations tied

There are definitely some gotchas when it comes to performance, mostly in
the realm of inadvertent space leaks and

As a five plus year veteran of Ocaml and a one year user of Haskell
I would say in general no.
However, Ocaml's strict evaluation makes it easy for someone new to
the language to have a pretty accurate guess
However, Ocaml's strict evaluation makes it easy for someone new to
the language to have a pretty accurate guess about its run time and
memory usage something which can be difficult in the face of Haskell's
lazy evaluation (not that I have experienced any obvious manifestations
of this myself).
