In previous releases, certain constructs took O(n^2) time to compile.
One that was a particular issue for me was:
do return ()
return ()
return ()
Once you got to 100 return ()'s in a row GHC was totally useless,
while Yhc and Hugs both had no problems. This particular problem was
fixed, and I think a few others were as well - if one of those had
tripped you up that may explain the speedup.
Thanks
Neil
