I was just wondering what exactly to expect for performance with int32
and int64 types in records and arrays right now.  Browsing through the
archives, I got the feeling that these types currently appear unboxed
in record types, but boxed in array types.  Is that still correct?

John.

No: int32 and int64 are always boxed in records and arrays.  Only
"big arrays" (the Bigarray library) support unboxed int32 and int64
elements.
