Is it that Gambit tends to allocate a list's elements, in sequential memory order, and |cdr| internally tends to be a +1 pointer operation?

I recall you said something to this effect in the past.

Thought came to mind now, that what about that Gambit could have use of an |apply| form that takes a vector as argument, due to prevalence of speed benefit of vector over list.

Please share your thoughts on this one.
