It's probable that you could configure SBCL to use a smaller heap (it's
also the case with ECL, which probably uses a smaller default).

There is an issue with garbage-collected languages in general in that
if the heap is too small the collector must run very often, which
impacts performance.

I think that the defaults ECL uses are general purpose enough, and I
didn't have to tweak them so far.
