Ok, I've got some clue. In TeXmacs we have a system to define "global" functions which is implemented via a macro "tm-define". If I run a stadard (fib 40) benchmark then it takes 2-3 sec, but if I define the fibonacci funciton via tm-define then it takes 20 sec! This could account for the sluggish performance since essentially all the core functionality is implemented via tm-defines...
Any suggestions to make it faster, or why it is so slow? In the very basic case tm-define just make a define in a let environment which is visible in all modules (see TeXmacs/progs/kernel/boot-s7.scm for the definition of the module system and TeXmacs/progs/texmacs/tm-define.scm for the definition of tm-define) Best, Max > On 31.
