[Texmacs-dev] S7 vs. Guile

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

Dear all,
 I've been making some progress on testing S7 with TeXmacs. Now performance is 
good and most editing works ok but I still have some bugs which I have to 
correct. Boot time is ~4x faster. As soon as everything works correctly I plan 
to run some more benchmarks to see how much we can gain. 

In the meantime I finished to run standard Scheme benchmarks for Guile 1.8.8, 
Guile 3.0.4 and S7 on my machine. The one which is slower is Guile 1.8.8 and 
sometimes the benchmarks kills the process because it is taking too much time 
(CRASHED). These are the results (in seconds).
