I wonder what would be the timing for a small compiled Gambit program doing the same calculation... Clojure is probably bringing in some start-up overhead. If it is indeed just a start-up overhead, it would be less of a problem. Crazy stuff.

I haven't done any rigorous benchmarking, but I suspect clojure-scheme introduces little overhead above what Gambit requires. I'm able to lean on native Gambit gambit constructs for quite a bit (i.e. Gambit records underpin Clojure deftypes).
