Yes, that's much faster.

But keep in mind that making large amounts of symbols makes gensym become 
gradually slower, which slows down interpreting $1-foo in all 
messageboxes, for example. The problem appears gradually as you have 
several thousand symbols at once, but I have not benchmarked to see how 
much it changes the balance of things. I think that send/receive will be 
almost always faster than anything else.

[route] is of intermediate speed, faster than [spigot] by a constant ratio 
for an average of many different lookups. [route] is faster than [spigot] 
for high indices (right-side outlets), and even faster for lower indices 
(left-side outlets). [s]/[r] is fast like one of the smallest indices of 
[route].
