It's too bad gcl needs to hit the disk, since it is otherwise substantially
faster than sbcl and cmucl and much faster than clisp,
so far as I can tell.
Compiling the quadpack integrand vs not compiling it seems to yield
about the same overall elapsed time, in some limited tests I did,
so I'm going to just leave it be.
