If I run the Shootout typed mandelbrot set benchmark in the tree, like
this (after adding #lang :

% time r -l racket/base -t tmandel.rkt 1000 > /dev/null
real    0m0.495s
user    0m0.460s
sys     0m0.032s

% time r -t tmandel.rkt 1000 > /dev/null
real    0m0.551s
user    0m0.516s
sys     0m0.032s

Still a pretty short computation, but the overhead there.
