All Answers are in The Source.

src/runtime/runtime.pkg may be helpful.  The list of bindings exported
from (runtime thread) to () constitute the API, roughly.

Ummm... we were not *trying* for 6 sec.  That was just an accident.

If speed is important to you, you might want a Scheme that explodes
like a C program when it traps or is signaled.  MIT/GNU Scheme trades
some speed for reliable signal handling, signal after signal, even
trap after trap...

Precise, copy-compressing garbage collection also imposes somewhat
upon speed (beyond the actual copying -- tagging and untagging every
pointer!).
