I'll get a more general TR set of release notes, but I don't think the optimizer commits are likely to have sped things up much on large programs -- they mostly fixed corner case and bugs, and refactored for clarity. It may be that some programs do see a speed-up, in which case we can include a benchmark for that. Sam _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
