Oh, and I should have mentioned the version:

  guile (GNU Guile) 2.2.4
  Packaged by Debian (2.2.4-deb+1-1)

For what it's worth, in an earlier round of testing I also hacked up
open-pipe to let me access the underlying ports and set their buffers to
65k.  That doubled the transfer rate, but of course, it's still fairly
slow.

Thanks
