Looking at ocaml's source code I see that the values representing arrays have a tag representing the type of their content (I'm guessing boxed/unboxed). Does this mean that a bidimensional array containing ints will only be explored in one direction during garbage collection? If so, how do the compare to Bigarray's (I'm guessing they still are slower). Till -- http://till-varoquaux.blogspot.com/
