Re: Lush2 performance

Not sure if it solves the problem, but I added a new
form 'with-nogc' which temporarily blocks garbage
collections. Should work when the number of allocations
in the loop is within reasonable limits.

You can do a similar thing in C (see the implementation
of with-nogc in toplevel.c).
