 | I didn't see how you loaded the code in any of the systems, so I
can't
 | tell where the disparity is exactly, but here are my guesses:

  1. In Scheme48, you probably neither set inline-values at the REPL
     nor used the module system.  By default, the REPL will compile
     code under the assumption that any binding can be redefined,
     including standard R5RS ones, so it inhibits the compiler from
     performing *any* kind of analyses on standard bindings.  This
     means that it was given no chance to recognize CWV, and that it
     must generate full, heap-allocated closures for the operands.
     Either use the module system or type this at the REPL first:

        ,set inline-values

 | ...
 | For the record, this is how I ran the code:
 | Scheme48: no special command-line options
  ,set inline-values
  ,load soo.scm
  ,collect
  ,time (test-m)
  ,collect
  ,time (test-v)
  ,collect
  ,time (test-mm)
  ,collect
  ,time (test-vv)
 | ...

The following are test-results in Scheme48 as instructed by you.

Still, my results are different from yous.
