Re: [Gcl-devel] Boyer benchmark results

[Peter Graves]

Hi,

I've done another run of Boyer benchmarks, using the approach Camm
suggested. I did make a minor change to sys-proclaim.lisp:

    #-(or cmu clisp)
    (IN-PACKAGE "USER")
    #+(or cmu clisp)
    (IN-PACKAGE "CL-USER")

I also changed the invocation of cmucl to "/usr/bin/lisp" (instead of
just "lisp") to avoid picking up a newer version that I have installed
in /usr/local/bin.

Here are the results:

Using sys-proclaim.lisp and boyer1.cl2, gcl in non-ANSI mode is indeed
a bit faster than cmucl (2.45 vs 2.59).

This is on an Athlon XP 2100+ system (512 MB), running Linux 2.6.0.
