As Trac #11222, and #10712 note, the strictness analyser needs to be rather careful about exceptions. Previously it treated them as identical to divergence, but that won't quite do. See Note [Exceptions and strictness] in Demand, which explains the deal. Getting more strictness in 'catch' and friends is a very good thing. Here is the nofib summary, keeping only the big ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Size Allocs Runtime Elapsed TotalMem -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fasta -0.1% -6.9% -3.0% -3.0% +0.0% hpg -0.1% -2.0% -6.2% -6.2% +0.0% maillist -0.1% -0.3% 0.08 0.09 +1.2% reverse-complem -0.1% -10.9% -6.0% -5.9% +0.0% sphere -0.1% -4.3% 0.08 0.08 +0.0% x2n1 -0.1% -0.0% 0.00 0.00 +0.0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Min -0.2% -10.9% -17.4% -17.3% +0.0% Max -0.0% +0.0% +4.3% +4.4% +1.2% Geometric Mean -0.1% -0.3% -2.9% -3.0% +0.0% On the way I did quite a bit of refactoring in Demand.hs
