Yes, Chez Scheme is fast but it took a lot of time (a few years!) to make the compiler translate Rhombus/Racket code to fast Chez Scheme code. And there are still a few rough corners to fix...
Also, Matthew implemented flonum unboxing to make code that uses a lot of floating points like x10 faster. I added type recovery, that gives a 10% boost in many cases. And I'm probably missing a few similar features.
In most cases the Chez Scheme team also was involved. Those changes were upstreamed, so you can enjoy them in Rhombus, Racket and Chez Scheme.

Thanks to Chez Scheme I guess...
