If it turns out to work on Windows, it clears that
category of concern, yes. The other concern I had
not sure yet what this is caused by, if it's fixable, ...
In summary, more investigation is needed. The Guile
statprof output he posted shows a dramatic increase
in the time for apply-smob/1, so if I understand it
correctly it seems like a slowdown on the C++ side in
a translator method (?). With Thomas Scharkowski we
communicated off-list and managed to get a profile
with the "sample" command, but I had forgotten that
these binaries didn't have debugging symbols. That's
as far as I got for now.
