Yearh - it looks pretty good :)

But I thought that the difference would be greater than
the typical case in these benchmarks. But then again - I
_am_ doing a lot of matrix multiplications, array operations
and reading / writing the framebuffer. And it seems that
there is a great deal of improvement on those benchmarks :)

Are your matrix multiplications on list-based matrices?
I'm using 4 tuples of 4 tuples of reals for 4x4 matrices
most of the time.

And your peek performance - have you added some native support
for reading and writing memory addresses directly? Because
that would certainly be very useful for me :)
