It seems that this version still does not implement automatically
resizing hash-tables (as I noticed already a year ago...).
Maybe you can try with the CVS version of Guile, which should
implement much faster hash-tables (=> faster environments).
This may lead to an important spead-up. In order to check
whether the right hash-tables are implemented, try

---------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden vdhoeven]$ guile
guile> (make-hash-table)
standard input:1:1: In expression (make-hash-table):
standard input:1:1: Wrong number of arguments to #<procedure make-hash-table 
(k)>
ABORT: (wrong-number-of-args)

Type "(backtrace)" to get more information.
guile> (make-hash-table 11)
#(() () () () () () () () () () ())
guile>
---------------------------------------------------------

Both variants should be implemented now.
