In the first case, the output shows, but actually it's at the end. In the second case, since we've got O(n^2) processing time, I'm still waiting the first line!

Is the problem that FINISH-OUTPUT doesn't make the output visible, and you have to wait until the evaluation finishes? Which Lisp are you using?
