Very low throughput #51
Description
main = do
let rs :: [Word8]
rs = randoms (mkStdGen 42)
print $ sum $ map (\x -> fromIntegral x :: Int) $ take 10000000 rs
gives me around 5 MB/s on my laptop.
main = do

gives me around 8 MB/s on my laptop.
This is very slow for a pseudorandom number generator.
/dev/urandom gives me 230 MB on the same machine.
