Great!  Done.

We're still at ~3min and change, and ccl might still have an edge --
have not checked on the same machine.  It does appear that this job is
placing complex conses in compiled files.  We've put in a memoized
hash-equal for this purpose, but we flush the table on each
compile-file.  This flush might not be right, though I can't think of
anything better right now.  I was wondering if you could ask the authors
how other lisps might handle such things, in case they might know.

Take care,
