Equivalent features would be nice as well. Something that takes
two strings from the command line and prints out the result in an
easy-for-a-human-to-verify way would be very desirable.

Plus, we could all then time it the same way, using the same "time"
program, giving comparable results.

The results I gave were equivalent to that.  In lisp, you generally use the
lisp interpreter as your shell and give your expressions there to evaluate.
I haven't even figured out yet how to make a standalone program (I did a
hello world), or parse arguments and such.

Lisp's time uses the same system call to get the time as time, so I would
expect the same results.

However, if you type it in from the repl, you've already sunk the compilation time. Calling it from the command line forces you to add the compilation time to the actual execution time.
