[MLton] cvs commit: sped up output1 a lot

Nope.  I looked at the SSA we're getting now and I don't see any
obvious fat left.  You're welcome to have a look.  Try out "-profile
time -profile-il ssa" to find the hot loop.  And of course you could
use spy (which I've been meaning to rewrite in MLton) to look at the
asm.

I have no idea.  Hopefully Jesper can tell us.
