Hi,

Interesting. To see the resulting time, I changed the code into:

  let f =
  let x1 = fun x -> (x,x) in
  let x2 = fun y -> x1 ( x1 y ) in
  let x3 = fun y -> x2 ( x2 y ) in
  let x4 = fun y -> x3 ( x3 y ) in
  let x5 = fun y -> x4 ( x4 y ) in
  x5 ( fun z -> z ) ;;

(I stopped at x5 to have a correct answering time.)

Compiling with -i to display the resulting type:
   ocamlc -c -i t.ml

Oops... lines and lines and lines...
Mmm.... let's see:
   ocamlc -c -i t.ml | wc -l
   16385
