This is a real problem w/ the continuations-for-the-Web story. The
most natural thing in the world is to scatter a fresh continuation for
each link (using SEND/SUSPEND/DISPATCH). Then performance dies a
horrible death.
Of course, it may be that Scheme has nothing to contribute to writing
Web applications, as Brandon Van Every claims -- maybe he knew this
all along. <-;
