There's quite a bit of code involved in each call to caml_named_value.

This includes calling hash_value_name, traversal of the named value
list and a call strcmp for every step of the traversal.

Is it sensible to cache the valued returned by caml_named_value and
sticking it into an array of closures?

The array (block) would be registered as global root.

My use case is caml_named_value being called several times a second,
potentially.

    Thanks, Joel

Foot in mouth.

The manual says yes.
