thanks!

I'm looking to learn how well it performs for e.g.:

1) writing simple apps/games directly in prescheme (i have to learn if
there's any ffi available).

2) using it as a target for Shen Lisp.

The original paper seems to have 1 data point, running (fib 22).
That's nice, and it is nice that it is the full application, the full
VM and the program all being tested. Tho I wouldn't say that is enough
data to really carry an argument about benchmarking vs. other
languages. :-)
