Is OCaml lazy? I'm not an expert, but if you want ultra high throughput, you might not want lazy. If I understand correctly, in Haskell some nonobvious things can slow you down because of the laziness.

How does laziness cause a slowdown? It merely reorders work done, it doesn't necessarily create more work.

  To do lazyness, you need to accumulate "intermediate computation objects" called thunks. These take space and time to store.
