On i386/amd64 Linux sbcl. Speed of executables:
sbcl > Closure CL > gcl > ecl > clisp
Lisp compilation speed:
clisp ~ Closure CL > sbcl ~ gcl ~ ecl
Stability on Linux:
sbcl > clisp > Closure CL ~ gcl ~ ecl
Availability on various platforms:
clisp ~ ecl ~ gcl > sbcl > Closure CL
My main developement Lisp is sbcl 1.0.16. Currenly with newest
sbcl I am unable to break computations using Control-C (this
works fine for me with older versions). Otherwise newest sbcl
compiles slightly slower than older one and generated code
more or less has the same speed.
Extra comment: Speed means average. Before 1.1.1 on bignum
computations gcl and ecl were faster than other due to use of
GMP. When 1.1.1 is compiled using GMP support, then is very
fast on bignums and I know of no case where it could be slower
than gcl or ecl. In some cases Closure CL gives faster code
than sbcl, but in average sbcl is significantly faster.
