This is based on ecraven's benchmarks, which seem unmatained.
The benchmarks were run on a Dell XPS 13-9320 laptop.
Each benchmark was run 3 times, and I kept the best value.
NoteThis is not a d*ck swinging contest. I compiled these results to see how well we do in non-idiomatic, non-optimized, vanilla Scheme code and I want to be able to track progress with compiler improvements (there are plenty to come in Gerbil v0.19). Take them with a (big) grain of salt.
Note I've been asked why I don't include Chez in the benchmarks. This is simply because I don't trust languages who are not boostrapped with open source provenance. Racket's fork of Chez is, Dybvig Chez is not; see also The Gerbil Bootstrap.
