No, only in your dreams. If there was a Caml or SML compiler that was
twice as fast as Caml on codes like Coq or Isabelle/HOL, everyone (me
included) would have switched to that compiler a long time ago.
MLton can probably outperform Caml on some symbolic codes, but not by
a large factor and not because of data representation strategies (but
rather because of more aggressive inlining and the like).
