Here, you have tablesize^2 applications and time to create the closure(s),
so it is not a good example. Peraps test the following code (I do not have
test it)
  let tmp1=Array.create tablesize 0 in
  let tmp2 = Array.create tablesize (Array.copy tmp1) in
  let table = Array.create tablesize (Array.copy tmp2) in
      for i = 0 to tablesize - 1 do
      for j = 0 to tablesize - 1 do
      for k = 0 to tablesize - 1 do
       table.(i).(j).(k) <- (i+1)*(j+1)*(k+1)
     done done done
(copy are used to not have the same arrays ) I think (not sure) that used
"Array.create" instead of  "Array.init" allows ours to not have the problem
of buildings the closures and peraps give a faster code (for this cases). To
test ;-)

I do not understand what is "xmem". A super hero ;-) ?
