Interpreted code shows average n about 9064 (peak value was 9193),
compiled code - 9210 (peak value was 9226).

Code was compiled with "(declare (not safe))" to get more speed.

Without this declaration difference between interpreted and compiled
code is much less, ~9064 and ~9143 in average, accordingly.
