If you believe ecraven's benchmarks it's pretty exactly middle of the pack. Chez Scheme, Racket, Gerbil, MIT, Bigloo Guile, Loko, Cyclone, and Bones all are more performant.
And the ones where it does better are almost all not very popular implementations.
I think its speed is totally fine and I like the language and community but I don't think it's relatively fast among Schemes.
