It does indeed run slow on my machine as well (R9B0 on a PowerMac G4  
2x867 MHz), I'm not sure why it should be this slow but I noticed that  
you have a very large function with lots of nested case statements as  
well as that your case statements look like:

case .... of
     .... -> Var = ....
     .... -> Var = ....
     .... -> Var = ....
end

rather than the more common (and slightly more compact)

Var = case ... of
     .... ->  ....
     .... ->  ....
     .... ->  ....
end

You might try rewriting it this way to see if compiles more efficiently
