Re: [Chicken-hackers] [Chicken-users] Need help to figure out where this strange performance impact is coming from

WEIRD!!

Still somebody having another architecture available is needed to track
this further down.

However I got more infos to share:

Wild guess: this may be some alignment problem.

It does _not_ have to do with anything to do with srfi-1.  It just needs
to have *enough* exports in the program.

The story so far:  Profiling with srfi-1 pulled inline did reveal no
calls to srfi-1.  Turned the inlined srfi-1 into a module with no
exports -> slow down.  Export * -> full speed.  Binary search cutting
the export list -> slow down when less then 17 bindings exported.  Does
not matter which 17 bindings.  Rewrote the test to not import "extras"
-> still fast.  Removed the "(use extras)" -> slow down.  Use random egg
exporting many bindings instead -> fast again.

Weird.
