Ok, the file I load with scm_primitive_load is not compiled but the files
loaded by it were actually compiled. So I moved the critical functions
from the first one to the others, and now I think all the usefull functions
are compiled.

1.9.11 version still seams a bit slower than 1.8.7, most of the time
being spent in vm_debug_engine, malloc and free.

I tried but then apparently the load paths were affected in some way,
since the files loaded from the first evaluated file cannot be found.
