No I did not, butI read papers, written by the author. Indeed it is slow, but still be good for final compilation. Alas it is r4rs, and also I heard that it sometimes generate incorrect code. Still Scheme is better choice in my opinion for performance sensitive code, than ruby/python.

Stalin and Mlton are whole-program optimizing compilers. They take a bit longer than other compilers, but the results are impressive.
