Hi Maarten,

In my case, it depends on "where" this performance hit is. Take the
following example:
do [
init-func
big-loop-func
end-func
]
Now, if 'do takes 0.001s to interate through these calls and your 'eval
func takes 0.004s that's OK. If 'big-loop-func takes 10s to evaluate, but
the use of 'eval blows this out to 40s then we have a problem. So I
suppose my question is, once 'eval hits a func call does it effect how
long it takes to evaluate that function in and of itself?

Depends on answer to above, but I've got a couple of interesting things I
could do with this (multi-threaded listener, background IO writers, etc).
