[Ecls-list] Performance comparison

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Ubuntu, running on an Intel/64 machine (A Quad-core with 8GB RAM),
built with --enable-gengc --enable-smallcons  There have been some
late commits that speed up calling functions about which the compiler
has little information (i.e. functions in other files with no
proclamations, no known C name, etc). I would like to know how much
they helped to get these numbers, but I had not time to do regression
tests.
