Why sampleState much faster than runRVar?

[mvoidex]

Why

sampleState (replicateM 1000000 stdNormal :: RVar [Double]) g

much faster (<1 src vs ~20 secs) than

runRVar (replicateM 1000000 stdNormal :: RVar [Double]) StdRandom

?

Interesting. It would take some investigation. Maybe you could post a full program? I don't think sampling 1e6 normals should take even a second but maybe my intuition is incorrect.

Here

module Main where

import Control.Monad
import Control.DeepSeq
import Data.Random
import System.Random

main :: IO ()
main = do
	-- dbls <- (fst . sampleState (replicateM 1000000 stdNormal :: RVar [Double])) <$> newStdGen
	dbls <- runRVar (replicateM 1000000 stdNormal :: RVar [Double]) StdRandom
	dbls `deepseq` print (length dbls)

Results:
~1.5 secs vs ~20
