The OP almost certainly intended "CLISP" to mean "Common Lisp". While the CLISP implementation of Common Lisp is a decent platform (Conrad Barski features it in his book _Land of Lisp_, for example), it is not the fastest implementation. Their documentation acknowledges as much: http://www.clisp.org/propaganda.html See the section "CLISP Performance" at the bottom of the page.
