I gather that sys-proclaim is not in the picture in this most recent
build. Given that the purpose of it was to help GCL generate more
efficient code, I wonder how much difference it makes. Can you try
running run_testsuite with the new and previous builds? I am aware
that run_testsuite is not a comprehensive speed test but anyway it is
what we have available at the moment.
