Haskell performance has come a long way since I started

I’ve benchmarked a library I maintain today for older GHC versions out of curiousity and the results were surprisingly stark.

GHC has come a long way since then!

The benchmark is from the dom-lt package (compared using criterion-compare) and not exactly representative of a “normal” application. But the difference is still really nice to see.

Very encouraging!

Probably obvious but just to make sure: is the third column relative to the second column or the first column?

Relative to the first.
