Are you interested in cases where SML/NJ outperforms MLton?  I have
been playing around with some projects of my own in an attempt to
learn SML and found that, for one program, SML/NJ runs in about 70% of
the time of MLton (runtime is between 20-30 minutes).  Is there some
profiling I can do before I dump 800 lines of badly written ML into
your laps?
