Unfortunately, this comparison uses Guile 2.2. Guile 3 is out and has greatly improved the performance via Wingo‘s JIT.
AFAIK the biggest point that brought Guile-Emacs to a standstill is the internal string representation of Emacs that is different from Guile’s native format.

I am not sure that would help. Guile elisp is slow. I don't think there is anything stopping it from being as fast as guile sche, except for maybe man-hours.
