CallArity taking 20% of compile time
The CallArity analysis can, apparently, take 20% of compile time. That's a lot for one analysis that is on by default with -O.
Michael Terepeta writes: Out of curiosity I had a look at compiling haskell-src-exts since that takes quite a while. I've used ghc HEAD and 7.8.4 (both built with BuildFlavour=prof & bootstrapped with a standard ghc 7.8.4) and it's interesting -- the current HEAD takes quite a bit longer and allocates way more than 7.8.4. One of the main things that stand out is the CallArity analysis (which IIRC was not there in 7.8.4). So unless I messed something up with measuring, the analysis seem to be pretty expensive.
