Hi
are there any standard benchmarks to test the speed of GUILE? I'd
like to experiment with speeding up GUILE a little.
[I just had the idea that GUILE spends a significant amount of time
chasing around linked lists. If SCM_EOL were defined as 0, loops like
these
for (SCM s = x ; s != SCM_EOL; s = gh_cdr (s))
.. ;
might be a little faster. On the other hand, the time needed for
comparing s with SCM_EOL is probably neglible with the rest of
GUILE. So how do I test?]
