For what it's worth, I ran my own benchmark on Racket 8.0 and Racket 8.0.10 (current), and current is between 50 and 100% faster for certain operations. There must have been some optimizations done recently to current. Dex On Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 9:37:29 AM UTC+1 wanp...@gmail.com wrote:

[racket-users] Executable file size and raco demod

Hello there, Two things: - I noticed a doubling of executable file sizes (from 30MB to 70MB for racket/gui with embedded libs, Windows) between Racket 7.9 (non-CS) and Racket 8.0 (CS). Because of this, startup times from network drives also doubled (from 5 to 10s for gui programs when using
