Man or boy test.

So, how does your weapon of choice fare?

Huh. Using massif in valgrind I just found out my implementation uses less memory than guile and also frees it in the most efficient way.

Valgrind --tool=massif heap allocation graph for guile:

Mine hits the peak early on at 2MB and decreases steadily after, while guile hits the peak at the end with 3.5MB because it never frees memory (also it has a shitload of memory errors if you run it through valgrind --leak-check=full).
