From GHC documentation: "Once profiling has thrown the spotlight on the guilty time-consumer(s), it may be better to re-think your program than to try all the tweaks listed below."

So, how should I rethink my program? Which way to take?

Do you have some particular code that is underperforming?
I have a plenty of it. ;)

I'm yet to decide what to blame.

Performance tips are documented here:

Thank you. I loaded it the next second I received your answer. ;)

I profiled my program and found that residency looks pretty fixed but program memory usage grows and eventually I get heap overflow (on Windows) or heavy pagefile trashing (on Linux).

When I turn on +RTS -c to use heap compaction I immediately get the following:
-----------------------------
xxxx.exe: internal error: scavenge_mark_stack: unimplemented/strange closure type 30 @ 03678268
   Please report this as a bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org,
   or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/
-----------------------------

This already reported as a bug, but isn't fixed yet. The bug is right here: http://cvs.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/954

It does appear with 6.4.1 too.

So I try as hard as I can to reduce the size of garbage produced. No much luck so far.
