Do you have a sense of why Racket performs poorly on the `paraffins` benchmark? The code all looks quite equally optimizable for any Lisp system. (takr2 is also an outlier for Racket, but that benchmark is frightfully contrived.) -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
