By using a more appropriate data structure, e.g. a lazy list.  It's a 
pay-me-now-or-pay-me-later sort of game you're playing here.

Rather than whack on the immutable list, maybe you should consider 
doing this:

	type 'a mlist = N | C of 'a mcell
	and 'a mcell = { mutable cdr: 'a; mutable car: 'a mlist }

No need to thank me.
