And deteriorated it in others:

  lists
  1.480
  0.650
  2.400
  arrays
  0.380
  3.040
  rev
  0.490
  0.040
  memory
  0.600
  2.000
  tree
  1.280
  2.750

Btw., the last timing of the tree is a result of adding a type restriction
to floats to the "insert" function ("(x : float)"). This way we benefit
from unboxing.

Sorry, I had mistakenly thought that you used the persistent version.
