#22: Excessive memory allocation when using mutable vectors

 With the length of the mutable vector fixed, I expected that the memory
 allocated on the heap wouldn't increase with number of vector operations
 performed. But I see a linear increase. I think I am not using the vector
 package properly. I didn't see an option to ask a question and so I am
 raising it here.

 I asked this question in the irc
 (http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=25743) and copumpkin asked
 me to use Data.Vector.Unboxed.Mutable instead of Data.Vector.Mutable. It
 improved the bytes copied during gc, but not memory allocation. For e.g.
 if I duplicate the replicateM_ line, memory allocation doubles.
