I can't resist benchmarks!  I did a quick translation to
Haskell and here is the result using hbc.

ok guys,
 
  we are responsible for the '3^8 benchmark' ... and we gave a
first approximative result of 93 sec and 412 K (old compiler version).

Here's the final result for our ASpecT compiler ... it's a strict functional
language based on algebraic specifications.

---- Sun 4/20(SLC):   9.8s   (412k) ----

and comparable results for other platforms (we are generating C as target language).

we hoped that our benchmark would initiate a collection of various outcoming
benchmarks for functional language compilers.
Where are all these compiler-freaks?

:-)
