I'm not sure what settings are normally used for benchmarking Ikarus,
but I know of these optimization settings which can make a big
difference:
(optimize-level 2)
(cp0-size-limit (* 2 (cp0-size-limit)))
I have a ~/.ikarusrc file which contains:
(import (ikarus))
(optimize-level 2)
(cp0-size-limit (* 2 (cp0-size-limit)))
which makes Ikarus execute those assignments when it starts before
executing user code (I'm pretty sure pre-compiled code is not affected).
The optimize-level may also be set with the command-line option -ON
where N is either 0, 1, or 2. It doesn't look like there's a CL option
for cp0-size-limit. (There are other CL options "ikarus -h" doesn't
tell you about, which you can discover in the file
scheme/ikarus.main.ss.)
