+Here is a time profile, git-annex built with `stack build --profile`
+on linux.

+	
+	        total time  =        0.01 secs   (13 ticks @ 1000 us, 1 processor)

+
+Note that the profiler saw a 0.01 second runtime, but actual runtime is more
+like 0.04 seconds (actually 0.08 with this profiling build, but non-profiling
+builds are faster). The rest of the runtime must be linking and RTS startup?
+
+It would be good to get a similar profile on windows for comparison.
