Almost twice as slow as C/C++, that means if you're developing a program 
that does anything in realtime, you can do twice as much in C++ than 
Haskell.  That sucks.  All the other slower languages suck even more badly 
for realtime stuff.

Just different reasons for sucking.  BTW, can you easily do 
sound/image/video stuff with Haskell on Unix then?
