It was not meant to be testable code, just an example to frame the
specific case I was talking about.

When I did the test both fragment were using the same kind of
accessors, of course.

Attached there is a complete runnable program (with both procedures
using unsafe accessors).

I obtain these timings:

using risolvi-2 (nested fors):

> (time (test 1000 "e:/Local/Documents/Scheme/temp-3"))
cpu time: 16234 real time: 16286 gc time: 78
> (time (test 1000 "e:/Local/Documents/Scheme/temp-3"))
cpu time: 16453 real time: 16493 gc time: 63

using risolvi-3 (a single for*):

> (time (test 1000 "e:/Local/Documents/Scheme/temp-3"))
cpu time: 18078 real time: 18184 gc time: 1313
> (time (test 1000 "e:/Local/Documents/Scheme/temp-3"))
cpu time: 17735 real time: 17810 gc time: 141

This is a 10% difference on the the time for the whole program, which
comprises parts other than this loop, so the difference for the loop
only should be even greater.
