readline problems

I tried to emulate readline support with my curses module for guile.
The result was slow beyond any consideration, using schemewritten 
doubly-linked lists (whose code was snarved from elisp dlls) for 
history support and iterated wgetch for the line input. 
But maybe dlls are not optimal for history?
