Notes: "Franz D" is Franz with debugging, or (sstatus translink ())
       "Franz N" is with without ability to backtrace, or
       (sstatus translink t) 
       Franz compiler does a tail-recursion optimization in specialized
       circumstances which show up in this particular benchmark (TAK←TEST).
       (Tail recursive call to self). Given that 1 out of 4 function calls
       have been removed, and that this is a test of function calling,
       the 2.1 figure should perhaps be multiplied by 1.3, not greatly changing
       the results though.
       Franz and NIL timings run on a VAX-780.
       Maclisp timings could be further complicated by looking
       at (NOUUO T) and (*RSET ()), not to mention FIXNUM declarations
       and SUBRCALL. Maclisp on KL-10.
       Maclisp D is (NOUUO T).
