I wait for these results. From what you show it seems that the garbage 
collector is indeed not the major problem, but I am definitely puzzled 
about the memset/strncmp calls, which are almost nowhere used in ECL (in 
particular "strncmp"!). As for the *sigprocmask*, they can be probably 
removed by a careful replacement of setjmp/longjmp with the versions 
that do not save signals (_setjmp/_longjmp in some platforms).
