Well, last time I checked, with the patch compiling peval.scm was 2.10
seconds, compared to 2.35 without.  Not tiny, not huge.

No I did not.  Another thing one could fiddle with would be the block
size for a new list head.  I feel like we need more metrics though: a
distribution of sizes of blocks, numbers of blocks in a vlist, hash
collisions per block, etc.  I'll merge this to master soon and we can
check what impact the new hash function has on performance.
