* The `scheme/flonum' and `scheme/fixnum' libraries provide flonum- and fixnum-specific operations. In the case of flonum-specific operations, the JIT compiler can recognize combinations of operations (including local bindings) and improve performance by "unboxing" intermediate results. * The `scheme/unsafe/ops' library provides arithmetic and other operations that are implemented without dynamic checks. Avoiding checks can sometimes improve performance, but at the expense of safety. > * [Matthew/Eli] `#:save-errno'? Too minor for the announcement, I think. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-dev
