I would like to see MLton made the representative of SML on the
shootout main page ("The Usual") instead of SML/NJ.  MLton implements
more benchmarks than SML/NJ and is faster than SML/NJ on most
benchmarks, often by a significant margin.  Also, MLton is one of the
best performers in the shootout.  I can't see any reason why SML/NJ
would be used as the representative of SML on a performance-oriented
comparison.  Thanks.
