it seems it's a bit 50-50 in terms of performance gains, but the main gain, from what i understand, is the ability for the racket developers to code in racket and chez scheme now instead of c.
Note that this report is 9 months old. I guess there will be an new report this January. There has been a lot of small improvements.
I'm not tracking all of them, but I think that now there are less checks to ensure that the functions return don't return multiple values in the wrong moment, and there are less unnecessary continuation marks.
