When I compile my program using ghc and run the generated executable, the
 compilation is slow but the executable is very fast. When I run the
 program using runghc, it's extremely slow if I redirect the output to a
 file on NFS - but it's not using lots of CPU, it just sits there.

 My best guess is that runghc turns off output buffering entirely and
 outputs one character at a time - which murders NFS performance, so I'm
 told.
