It will soon, though. See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Releases and "Parallel garbage collection".

A release candidate of ghc 6.10 should be out in a few weeks.

None of this would help Joel, I suppose, since he decided to move away from Haskell to Erlang for other reasons.

The new gc will be an improvement but is is till not as good as Erlang's garbage collection, which is per process.
