Problem is: with dynamic scoping and buffer-local variables, you're in for
a big disappointment if you think compiling to native code will give you
anywhere close to the performance of C code. To get any kind of real
performance, you'll need to either switch to lexical scoping, or add
a sophisticated (whole program) analysis to figure out where lexical scope
can be used without affecting the end result.
