LISP doesn't have a "virtual machine." CLTL2 and ANSI CL leave the
actual representation of compiled code up to the implementation. This
usually boils down to two major approaches: byte compilation (note,
the latter does not necessarily imply the VM; in most cases it is just
"fast loaded" stuff) or compilation to native object code. Some
advanced LISP implementations for large UNIX machines do that
(Harlequin, AFAIR). Anyway...
