Not yet but I'll try it ASAP. According to the recently posted benchmarks  
it looks very promising.
In practice non-3m mzschemes performance is almost acceptable for things  
like action games, it seems that only the gc is holding it back. To be  
more accurate, it's the way gc causes noticiable pauses every few seconds.  
If these could somehow be spread over in time the perceived effect would  
be a lot better, even if the net performance remains the same.
