Is this because the stack needs to be software-emulated in a language such as PHP - is there no way to apply some tough optimizations making the speed loss <=15% or so as compared with code handwritten in the host language? Mikael

i.e., Marc thinks the Gambit Scheme->PHP generated code will be at least 10 times slower than pure PHP. In my book, that's "much slower."
