Here's my naive Haskell implementation, done without studying any of the others here, though after finishing and looking briefly through them, it is rather similar to some.
merge (x:xs) (y:ys)
| x < y = x : merge xs (y:ys)
| x > y = y : merge (x:xs) ys
| x == y = x : merge xs ys
supermerge (x:[]) = x
supermerge (x:y:ys) =
supermerge $ (merge x y) : ys
multiples x =
map (*x) [1..]
multiplesFromList x =
supermerge $ map (multiples) x
limbic's_challenge = multiplesFromList [2,3,5]
I'm not sure how fast it is comparatively (especially since I'm running it in Hugs), but I can get a million items in about 20 seconds.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
