Re: Is guile byte-code compiled?

On tiny-clos, a scheme implementation of a subset of CLOS, hobbit
increased performance by an order of magnitude, but this would also be
something that respond very well to compilation to C.

We have tried to apply hobbit to a larger part of the main code of our
project, but unfortunately without success, since hobbit in its
current state has too many compromises wrt. to full (guile) scheme.
