I will be presenting a paper on TI's PC Scheme at the conference on LISP
and Functional Programming in Cambridge the first week of August.  Part of
the paper consists of a brief comparison of PC Scheme and other PC-based
LISP implementations on 7 benchmark programs, some of which come from
Gabriel's test suite.  After the conference, I'll be glad to forward this
information to anyone interested.
