Текущее состояние длин

Померил тут, похоже про магические хэши не надо рассказывать. Тут length' - текущая реализация из GHC, length0 - трех?летней давности:

{-# LANGUAGE MagicHash #-}
module Length where

import GHC.Prim
import GHC.Exts (Int(I#))
import Data.List

length0    :: [a] -> Int
length0 l  =  len l 0#
  where
    len           :: [a] -> Int# -> Int
    len []     a# =  I# a#
    len (_:xs) a# =  len xs (a# +# 1#)

length' :: [a] -> Int
length' xs = lenAcc xs 0 where
  lenAcc []     n = n
  lenAcc (_:ys) n = lenAcc ys (n+1)

length'' :: [a] -> Int
length'' = foldl' (const . succ) 0

length''' :: [a] -> Int
length''' []     = 0
length''' (_:xs) = 1 + length''' xs
