Okay I'll take it out.

The performance hit for a list of ints is 2.7% (i.e. it takes 2.7% 
longer without memoing).  With a list of values of mytype (see below) 
it takes 27.2% longer.

:- type mytype
         --->    mytype_functor(another_type2, another_type3).

:- type another_type2
         --->    another_type2_functor(int).

:- type another_type3
         --->    another_type3_functor(int).

Ian.
