> For reference, I'm referring to the "oops I did it again" part. It's really hard to take that comment as "honours go to GHC authors". Was overly excited when I created the repo after obtaining the first results. Childish indeed, thanks for reminding, fixed. > Also, I suggest you try running the GNU wc with unicode turned off because unicode is computationally expensive and you're deliberately disabling unicode support in your own code anyway. I tried running wc as `LC_ALL=C wc file.txt`, and it (surprisingly for me) resulted in worse run time for wc (my default locale is ru_RU.UTF-8 for comparison). This reproduced on two machines of mine and also on a machine of a friend of mine who also gave my code a shot. My bad for omitting this in the post, I'll update it accordingly.
