Clues on this one?
SSAX isn't easy to build (my own private definition, for anything I can't figure out how to build in 30 minutes or less--ah, it seems I've proved incompetent at this before:

), so it's going to be hard to offer suggestions.
If you have heavy-duty string processing you might enable Gambit with --enable-char-size=1; the default is 4.
If you follow the thread spread between subthreads starting

and
https://webmail.iro.umontreal.ca/pipermail/gambit-list/2007-February/ 001125.html
you'll see that IO using read-char and write-char is slow; that's hard to fix.
You can increase the minimum heap size with -:m100000 (to give it 100MB).
Good luck.
