Yes. And post numbers, please. As far as I can tell garbage
collection in MZScheme is slow. I think that's why it also has a
precise gc (under /gc2). (Altough I'm not sure, is that code used at
all?)

What's wrong with compiling both MZScheme and guile with profiling
enabled and then run a simple script that creates some garbage?
Maybe Boehm's gc bench can be used, I don't know.
