AFAIK, CMUCL is the fastest free lisp available. But I would rather stick with its offspring, SBCL, which might be a bit slower, but it is being worked on actively, it is quite portable (http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/platform-table.html) and it supports native threads (CMUCL just has green threads). Of course it's not easy to compare speed of different languages, but e.g. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all might give you an idea (oh shame, Java seems faster there).
