In that case, it might make sense to ask a CLISP list rather than
CMUCL/SBCL.

In my experience, CLISP is perfectly adequate performance-wise.
(OTOH, I use it for processing huge datasets on AMD64 which cannot be
handled by 32-bit CMUCL due to addressable memory size.)

CLISP modules offer an easy way to write speed-critical functionality in
C/C++/Fortran/assembly &c
