I was hoping to compare similar approaches in Scheme, Ocaml and C++ in much the same way as the language shootout does. I don't really have a desperate need for a fast queens solver ;-) Anyway, thanks for pointing out the algorithmic difference between the C++ and the Ocaml. I'll see if I can track down what causes this.
