Very few of the shootout entries have been revisited since most of the
improvements to list and stream fusion, etc. in GHC, if I can trust
the amount of discussion of shootout entries I've seen on IRC. Some
of them are still vintage 6.4.2, which had very little in the way of
compiler smarts so hand optimization was crucial. 6.8.2, on the other
hand, does much better all by itself as long as you don't e.g. use
lists in stupid ways.
