[MLton] MLTon speed (Languages Shootout)

[Alexandre]

Hello,

just see updated computer language shootout benchmark  
(http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php? 
test=all&lang=all&sort=cpu&xfullcpu=1&xmem=1&xloc=0&ackermann=1&wc=3&ech 
o=5&fannkuch=3&fasta=3&fibo=1&harmonic=1&heapsort=4&mandelbrot=4&matrix= 
3&nbody=3&nsieve=3&nsievebits=2&objinst=5&methcall=5&pidigits=2&random=3 
&regexmatch=4&reversefile=4&spellcheck=4&hello=0&moments=2&sumcol=3&takf 
p=1&process=2&message=3&wordfreq=5) and it seems that SML/NJ  
implementation became faster... I mean that there is no such big  
perfomance lag as it was later. Can you comment this (I'm just curious  
why)?
