Multiple values involve more checking that returning an explicit data structure, because the receiving continuation may or may not be multiple-value aware. Returning a single result from a function is a more fundamental operation than handling multiple-value continuations, so will always be faster. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
