This is a terribly written program. It uses 3-element lists as vectors
(including higher-order vector arithmetic using map) and allocates
like hell. The compiler can not do much with this code, and it
produces CPS calls everywhere.
I take it you are referring to the {add, sub, scale, mul,

Hi,
The difference is, this one is much better code, which doesn't exercise
the garbage collector, so it isn't much use as a GC benchmark.
Code involving SSQL would be good for a GC benchmark. I recently
reworked the query generation in Knodium to be up-front rather than at
access-time and got
