See this recent thread:

 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2004-September/007091.html

I have found ghc unregisterised on amd64 to be quite fast.

An unregistered build is quite possible, though a little tricky if
you're not used to GHC or make. Try to use a binary build for your
platform, if possible. Otherwise follow the porting instructions here:
