Thanks for posting that; I hadn't looked at the sbcl implementation of the pi-digits benchmark, but indeed that page says "Pi digits on the benchmarks game is currently a bunch of calls to GMP". This would *really* be cheating in my opinion, as it's not testing the language implementation but using nonstandard extensions that replace stuff that's already part of the core. I had just assumed it would be using the sbcl native implementation (which indeed is pretty damn good and almost 100% pure Lisp code). Cheers, Peter
