[Haskell-cafe] How to improve speed? (MersenneTwister is several times slower than C version)

[isto]

Hi, 

When writing IO version, I wasn't aware of other twister versions,
and the only reason is/was that it was easiest to me and that I knew
(believed) that plain lists would have been inefficient.  I just wanted
to see and learn, how close to C version this can be made.  (And still
do.)

There were some good suggestions on this thread - next I'll try 
to get grasp on how to apply the suggestions and do something...
