If I add up a few thousand 32-bit signed integers, it takes 20 seconds.

If I use double-precision floating-point, it takes 43 seconds.

If I use double-precision, and then convert each number to an integer, 
and then add it to the total, it takes 6 minutes.

I'm wondering whether the hardware is actually that slow, or whether 
this is a performance bug in Haskell's number libraries.
