Guile 2.2 speed improvements

[Paul Morris]

By chance I came across the following blog post about Guile 2.2, apparently
it's due out later this year.

Most of it is technical and above my head but the summary is that it should
be significantly faster:  "A simple count-up-to-a-billion test runs in 9
seconds on Guile 2.2, compared to 24 seconds in Guile 2.0."  I thought I'd
share it, in light of recent discussion about performance/speed.  

Looks like good things ahead.
