Overall, keep in mind that changes to vector contracts mean that vectors can be wrapped with chaperones. That's why `unsafe-vector-ref' may need to change to `unsafe-vector*-ref', and it may explain performance differences in general. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
