How does MLton's performance compare to other SML compilers and to other languages?

MLton has excellent performance.

Does MLton treat monomorphic arrays and vectors specially?

MLton implements monomorphic arrays and vectors (e.g. BoolArray, Word8Vector) exactly as instantiations of their polymorphic counterpart (e.g. bool array, Word8.word vector). Thus, there is no need to use the monomorphic versions except when required to interface with the Basis Library or for portability with other SML implementations.
