Weird, as I was browsing the language shootout, I got the impression that SBCL produces damn fast code, in most cases comparable to the code emited by GCC or Java 6.

Yeah, that's the point. It's damn fast now. The "too slow" meme is from decades ago.

Notice that you're looking at SBCL 0.9.16

Notice that there are more up-to-date measurements available from the homepage
