Quoting myself:

On my box (Intel E5300 2.6Ghz), testsuite real times (in seconds) and 
failed tests are

sbcl-1.0.50     204  rtest16 (386, 387)
gcl-2.6.8_pre   208
cmucl-20b_p001  211
clozurecl-1.7   293  rtest_gamma (673)
ecl-11.1.1      404  rtest8 (126, 127)
clisp-2.49      628

If the testsuite is representative, ecl is 2 times slower than sbcl.
