Normal Haskell programs are usually not near C programs speed, unless they use a better algorithm compared to the C programs (this sometimes happens because Haskell is lazy, and lazyness sometimes allows to express certain better algorithms in a simpler way, that are harder to express correctly in C).

That is what I meant with a "completely different mindset".
