Cyclone targets the [R7RS-small specification](https://github.com/justinethier/cyclone/raw/master/docs/r7rs.pdf). This spec is relatively new and provides incremental improvements from the popular [R5RS spec](http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/). Library support is the most important new feature but there are also exceptions, system interfaces, and a more consistent API.
+## Benchmarks
+
+[ecraven](https://github.com/ecraven) has put together an excellent set of [Scheme benchmarks](http://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-benchmarks/benchmark.html). These are the typical Scheme benchmarks that many implementations use but the remarkable thing about this suite is all of the major implementations are supported. This allows an apples-to-apples comparison of all of the major implementations.
+
+Over the past year Cyclone has matured to the point where almost all of the 56 benchmarks will run:
+
+
+
+The remaining ones are:
+
+- `compiler` passes but returns the wrong result. This is going to be fun to track down since the program takes so long to compile...
+- `mbrotZ` fails because Cyclone does not support complex numbers.
+- `pi` does not work because Cyclone does not support bignums yet.

+Regarding performance, from Feeley's presentation:
+
+> Performance is not so bad with NO optimizations (about 6 times slower than Gambit-C with full optimization)
+
+But Cyclone has some optimizations now, doesn't it? The following is a chart of total runtime (in minutes) for the benchmarks that each Scheme passes successfully. Cyclone performs well against all of the interpreters but still has a long ways to go to match top-tier compilers. Then again, most of these compilers have been around for a decade or longer:
