   That's one reason.  The other is that it seems to slow things down by
   a small, but noticeable amount.  I don't yet understand why because
   the emitted code looks exactly the same (modulo naming).  Of course
   there's no reason to slow things down for *exactly* the same code.

Extra time spent in flow analysis and closure analysis?  (Perhaps
another reason to avoid using it by default is the scary comment in
compiler/fgopt/closan.scm...)  Or are you noticing time spent running
particular code that uses named LET, not building the whole system
overall?
