new SML/NJ

[Henry Cejtin]

Well damn.  I knew that performance would suck.  It was just the overloading
I wanted.  While I'm developing a program it is nice to use SML/NJ for its
type checking, and with the bogus overloading that doesn't work.  I have gotten
around this so far by just using
        structure IntInf = Int
at the start, but have sometimes found that that works but the program is
still wrong because some where I called some function explicitly from Int.
Oh well.
Did you do any timing test on the new SML/NJ?  Did ML-RISC speed the Intel
code up much?
