i'm after a common-lisp for windows. must:

**      access to lottsa memory,
**      not be slowed down by BIG applications;
**      have a good garbage collector.
**      generate  FASLs or stand-alones (optional)
**      windowing and graphics primitives.

after a quick browse thru comp.lang.lisp.FAQ, i see 4 main options:

**      GCL
**      muLisp-90
**      CLOE
**      xlisp

anyone care to rank these? assess them according to my needs?
suggest others?

and while we're here, what's the current situation with delivering LISP
systems on windows/OS-2. the prolog world has some very mature systems
that are viable commercial development packages. where are we in lisp?
