Pascal, could you please also try your code with open-source free Lisp implementations and give the numbers? :-)
I'm currently focusing on making everything work well on LispWorks before considering porting to other CL implementations. That's in general a good approach: First make things work well in one CL implementation, and worry about portability later. Portability is quite easy to achieve at a late stage with Lisp, but may distract you too much from the important concepts initially.

The development platform is LispWorks 6.0, which comes with an excellent library for SMP. (I would say it's the best of any dynamic language I am currently aware of, not just those of Lisp dialects.)
I would be interested on learning what aspects of LispWorks make it interesting for SMP, specially if some of those ideas can be adapted to ECL. Does their library provide a better granularity when controlling threads than C? Is it the inter-process communication? Juanjo
