This is one reason why we created Optimization Coach in the first place. Now that we know what's not inlined in this program, Pierpaolo can manually inline the functions that the inliner skips by using macros, and see if that improves performance. Without Optimization Coach, it's hard to even ask the right questions in the first place. Sam ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
