[racket] universe program using 100% cpu on Mac (also poor Raspberry Pi performance)

I experimented with this 'optimization' and, if I recall correctly, it didn't make much of a difference and got in the way of imperative world programs. So I took it out. Mea culpa, I should have commented on this experiment inside the code.

My Mac-based experiments suggest that this call is not the cause of performance problems.

Could you post the code somewhere so we can experiment with it?
