The Dylan Playground compiles stuff optimized for interactive
development.

If you want to do benchmarking I suggest that you create a project and
ensure that the compilation mode is "production".

Once you done that you can use the compiler's code colouring to
improve the efficiency of your code by supplying extra type
information, etc.
