Hello Martin, Thanks for posting this. We had already been discussing it earlier today in #chicken. I had another look at the code but I can't really find any obvious inefficiencies. It is indeed a bit faster with CHICKEN 5, but not by much. Of course, Guile is "cheating" by using GMP. If I compare it to another Scheme which has its own bignum implementation like Gauche, we perform about the same. It's interesting that sbcl is doing so well. Maybe I'm overlooking something seemingly minor but important? Cheers, Peter
