I'm trying to benchmark ikarus, but the performance I get doesn't match up with the published measurements. The assembler code produced by ikarus has type checks and overflow checks on fixnum operations, so...
What is the best way to disable type checking and overflow checks on fixnum arithmetic operations (such as fx+)? In general, how can code be compiled in "unsafe" mode? What settings are normally used for benchmarking ikarus (for example the benchmarks that come with the distribution)? Marc
