[plt-scheme] Drscheme boost programs performance

Yes, the difference may be a factor of 2. Of course there are other 
languages to achieve greater performance, but as languages most perform 
less. Counting my own time too, (PLT) Scheme is in many cases faster than C 
or Fortran or Algol or Pascal.
