Re: Python-on-guile

[Stefan Israelsson Tampe]

To note is that 'continue' is killing performance for python-on-guile
programs, so by changing the
code to not use continue lead to python-on-guile running twice the speed of
python3. The reason is that
the while loop is used as
(while (...)
   (let/ec continue
        ...))

And the let/ec is probably not optimally compiled. Python-on-guile will
check the loop for continue usage and if not then it will skip the let/ec.

I attached the code not using continue
