There is a very revealing paper by Clinger, Hartheimer, and Ost,
"Implementations Strategies for First Class Continuations", that
provides detailed examinations of various strategies, the code
generated to support them, and actual measurements showing the
effects of each implementation variation.

This paper, along with Marc's recent explanation about the cost of
CPS, should go a long way toward explaining why CPS code may be
slower than direct form code.
