A similar paper on Haskell's stream fusion has a pretty similar PDF filename (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/ndp/haskell-beats-C.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers...). With benchmarks showing the "naive" implementation in Haskell of a simple stream problem beating hand-tuned C. Haskell is still pretty well-defined in terms of execution, but freedom from how to manage memory is in itself a major liberator for the optimisers.
