This is a topic on its own, and I really think we can and should do better. I posted observations on where the compiler is spending its time and memory earlier; Andy pushed improvements, but I believe there’s much more than can be done: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2017-10/msg00035.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2017-05/msg00033.html Ludo’.
