Thanks for this interesting and extensive study.
For those people on the list who have some time,
it would be nice to compare the different implementations.
First of all we would need a good set of benchmarks for
testing the speed. Someone knows of such a set?
After that, we need the following information:

  1) Is the license GPL compatible?
  2) How fast is the implementation (benchmarks ^^^)?
  3) How portable is the implementation (Unix, Windows, etc.)?
  4) Is it possible to use Scheme as an extension language?
  5) Does the implementation have a clean module system?
  6) Do the SFRI extensions work?
  7) Is there a CLOS-like system available?

We do not actually need 6 and 7 yet, but I am seriously considering
point 7 for the future.

By the way, another scheme implementation is MzScheme:
