I have two more tests that are substantially improved -- fasta (2.5
faster), and reversecompliment (also 2.5x but will probably get to
around 3).  Will you submit them?

So IIUC, the only two discrepancies here are in the mandelbrot code
which for some reason is not the unsafe one in the racket version, and
the regexpdna, which seems to have been simplified to use
`regexp-replace*' (and so speed differences are likely).  Right?
