The native top-level is the bit that interests me the most, as this combines 
interactivity with OCaml's superb native-code performance.

I just benchmarked the new top-level and it runs my ray tracer 17x faster:

$ time ocaml unix.cma ray.ml >image.pgm

real    1m11.656s
user    2m21.106s
sys     0m0.331s

$ time ocamlnat unix.cmxa ray.ml >image.pgm

real    0m4.294s
user    0m6.265s
sys     0m0.521s

Interactive compilation to native code was one of the main benefits of F# over 
OCaml. So I, for one, would dearly love to see this in the mainstream OCaml!
