A better Haskell than Haskell

I would like to introduce you fine gentlemen to the programming language Clean, which is markedly superior to Haskell in every respect. And I do mean "respect," in that it has earned yours simply by being. I hope that you have the common sense to bow down and worship this superior programming language. If you don't, I suppose there may well be no hope for all of you.... You will just have to perish in flames.

Java takes some time after it starts up to reach a stable point after which things will start taking stable amounts of time. ``Steady state'' refers to this point.
Presumably it's still loading libraries and whatnot in the background before that, but it's equally likely that Sun is just fucking with you.

Yeah, it feels really good to be justified in hating Haskell. A 2x speed decrease from C is simply unacceptable.
