the `run_hydra.ss` above is Vesta loading `hydra.ss` and then calling `hydra@load` on it. 

Once I update Enyo to the point where it can compile Hydra, this will be a more meaningful benchmark, but it isn't bad that Hydra is still running in less than a second on this:

(define (fib i j n)
    (if (<= n 0)
            i
            (fib (+ i j) i (- n 1))))
(define (scheme_main)
    (display (fib 0 1 10))
    (display "\n")
    (display (fib 0 1 20))
    (display "\n")
    (display (fib 0 1 30))
    (display "\n")
    (display (fib 0 1 32))
    (display "\n"))
(scheme_main)

I haven't installed newline as a primitive in Hydra yet, so that is why there is a hydra_s1.ss file (although this could be used on all three interpreters...).
