W-what?
it depends, but the GHC is extremely optimized. turns out some of that crazy type theory mathematics going on makes it easier to optimize certain idioms.
also, matlab isn't a general purpose programming language.

as fast as c if you write it right
you can even have mutable vars inside the ST / IO monads
of you'll need to keep mind that there is a gc

also the fact that pretty much everything not in a register is heap allocated
