Not compared to a good implementation for a compiled, low-level
language.

Hmmm ... wrong answer ... what could ... ah! Here's a problem: I
bomb on the empty sequence. Correction below.

I'm not a perfect programmer, but I like to think I'm a good
programmer. Good programmers own their bugs.

If there's another problem, I need more to go on. From what you
write, I cannot tell where it fails, nor even what submission is
yours and your latest.
