Wow ! Great use of MicroHS. What is the performance difference between interpreted MicroHS and warm compiled Haskell for a practical program eg. Shellcheck or similar ?

The rule of thumb is somewhere between 5 and 10x difference. Which is large if you're going to do anything heavy but for most practical purposes it's fine. Roughly the difference between C and Python.
