Hey, that sounds interesting! How do you do that? > No implementation is as fast as 10 lines of hand-optimized C. C is good for performance, and it makes a lot of sense to write stuff in it when it needs to be really fast, but it shouldn't become a crutch like it is for PHP, Ruby and Python coders when faced with performance issues: If the Scheme code is slow when compiled, it makes sense to first investigate whether it's a bottleneck that can be solved in the compiler, or with a few hacks^Wwell-placed macros ;) Cheers, Peter
