Correction: rev is also twice as fast, but using a left fold rather than a right fold:

  (def foldl (f v xs)
    (if xs
        (foldl f (f (car xs) v) (cdr xs))
        v))

  (def rev (xs)
    (foldl (xy (cons x y)) nil xs))

(xy (cons x y)) is just 'cons.

    (def rev (xs) (foldl cons nil xs))
Although you write your foldl differently than mine; for me, it would be:

    (def rev (xs) (foldl flip.cons nil xs))
