Eli Barzilay 96006264ad Some improved shootout benchmarks.
* An improved version of the `fasta' benchmark: ~2.5 times faster, and
  if an inlined `unsafe-fl->fx' is added it is probably going to be
  about ~3.5 times faster.

* `reversecomplement' -- revised code that is ~2.5 times faster, further
  tweaks and unsafe ops gets it to ~4.5 times.

* Doing the structs differently in `binarytrees' and a few minor tweaks
  get it to be ~1.5 times faster.  This is probably because a leaf has
  now only one field.

* `mandelbrot' improved a little (~1.2x), but the code is pretty much a
  rewrite.  (Given some more flonum inlining it can probably do much
  better.)

* Added a comment to `pidigits-gmp' saying that it was used without
  attribution.

These versions use unsafe operations, but I'm not putting them in
separate files since it's easy to turn them off.  I've also removed
"mandelbrot-unsafe.rkt", since it was identical to the safe version.

The Racket programming language
===============================

Important executables:

* DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!).

* Racket: the main command-line entry point for running racket programs
  and scripts.

* GRacket: the GUI-enabled Racket executable.

* raco: Racket's command-line toolset.


More Information

Racket comes with extensive documentation: use DrRacket's `Help' menu,
or run `raco docs'.  Also, visit us at http://racket-lang.org/ for more
