ghc-6.12.1 takes longer to compile code and produces bigger binaries compared to ghc-6.10.4
Compiling 348 files from our hets project (using "cabal build")
using ghc-6.12.1 (from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1/ghc-6.12.1-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2) takes 291.55s and produces a binary with 21540628 Bytes (after strip)
using ghc-6.10.4 (from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2) takes 216.28s and produces a binary with 14548284 Bytes (after strip)
Furthermore the stripped ghc (and haddock) binaries from the distributions differ already:
ghc-6.12.1 17MB ghc-6.10.4 14MB
(The ghc-6.12.1 distribution misses the install-strip target)
