== v8-earley-boyer ==
This is a mostly-mechanical Scheme->JS translation of two programs: earley, which does parsing, and boyer, which is a constraint solver. It has functions named 'sc_Pair' (like cons), 'sc_list', 'sc_append', and so on; the three just given are the ones that account for the most time.
Being based on Scheme, this program creates a lot of small objects, so fast object allocation and generational GC are very important. Inlined constructors would also help.
sc_list and sc_append use |arguments|, but only locally, so making this faster by not creating an arguments object would help. Same goes for call objects in closures.
The extensive use of closures also generate a lot of CALLNAME ops, so those need to be fast.
There is a lot of tail recursion, and also general tail calls.
