Hi Simon,

Benchmarks please! Let's see some comparisons on the nofib suite. If there's a
factor of 2 or less between GHC -O2 and YHC for any of the nofib programs, I'll
eat my keyboard for lunch :-)
I remember having some benchmark where Yhc was only twice as slow as
GHC - possibly without -O2 (or even -O). Can't remember what, but I
was slightly surprised to see it.
I will try and get some Yhc vs GHC benchmarks at some point. We are
also working on an optimiser for Yhc, and a C backend, so does the
keyboard eating offer still encompass that version of Yhc? :)
Thanks
Neil
