After deeper analysis of our product memory management behavior, it appears
that for thoses 2 tests, we are now swapping a lot when compiling with 
mlton-2005
when we were not swapping at all with mlton-2003. This can explain our 
performances
regression.

So, does it exist compiling options for tuning memory management to 
return at
least to the same performances as with mlton-2003 ?
