Here are some benchmarks, the program is the same fibonacii test program
found in Guile's distribution.

guile
   (fib-loop 20 200000)

;Evaluation took 9856 mSec (0 in scm_gc) 15 cells work, 1421 bytes other
6765
rah#  time ./reffib 20 200000
6765
0.207u 0.015s 0:00.21 100.0% 16+204k 0+0io 0pf+0w

rah# tclsh
% source fibref.tcl 
% time {fib_loop 20 2000}
11684844 microseconds per iteration

Not bad :)
