This is all true, and you can see it in simpler examples. The empty modules: #lang typed/racket/base and #lang racket/base have the following timings: [samth@hermes:~/tmp plt] time racket test.rkt real 0m0.592s user 0m0.516s sys 0m0.064s [samth@hermes:~/tmp plt] time racket test2.rkt real 0m0.065s user 0m0.040s sys 0m0.024s So you can see about 500 ms of extra overhead. Most of this time is in loading and executing the runtime dependencies of Typed Racket, which aren't used here, but which the implementation architecture of Typed Racket makes it basically impossible to reduce. We've worked hard to reduce this cost, but it's hard to go much further. Sam ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
