Initial comparisons are suggesting that the issue is specific to
SBCL, which appears to be the implementation on which the comparison
was based.

For reasons not clear to me, SBCL's CLOS requires a significant amount
of run-time initialization.  Once this process has completed, SBCL
runs very fast.

GCL does not appear to suffer from this.

Looking at the code for Lift further encourages to me to belive that
this is SBCL specific.
