For what it is worth, some months ago I gave a look to ’sort’.
The current implementation provided by Guile is written in C. Guess
what? I wrote some pure Guile as fast as such C (if not faster!).

To make explicit my understanding of Ricardo’s answer: no it’s not the
Scheme compiler provided by Guile that is the current performance
bottleneck but there is still room of improvement for the whole Guile
(Garbage Collection, Standard Library, etc.).
Cheers,
simon
