Chicken's threads are slower (about half the speed of Gambit in most benchmarks), which is still orders of magnitude better than most other languages (with the exception of Erlang) provide. > > Can Chicken continuations be serialized?

On floating-point intensive arithmetic, Chicken can keep up with Gambit (last time I tested), for fixnum-only code Gambit will be faster. I haven't compared the performance of the numbers egg (bignums and rationals) with other implementations yet. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
