Thanks for this!  Can you repeat with the following command executed
first?  (Dr. Schelter did this on his benchmarks.)

:lisp (progn (allocate 'cons 8000 t) (allocate 'fixnum 1000 t) (si::allocate-relocatable-pages 2000 t))

This might level the playing field among systems starting out with
different amounts of memory allocated. 

Also, what about some other non performance issues?

1) fraction of common lisp standard implemented?
2) correctness?
3) compile process, i.e. to C, asm, other?
4) portability
5) license
6) stability
7) libraries or equivalent

Any info here much appreciated.  It makes no sense to waste effort
needlessly duplicating things, but it would also be a shame to throw
away something with possible advantages.

Thanks!
