lighter prompts?

I noted that prompts in guile-2.0 is quite heavy e.g. using vanilla setjmp facilities. So if I'm not miss-taken a prompt will save several machine registers. Is this really needed? Why I am asking is that everything looks the same after a prompt returns e.g. basically setting up registers from st
