Hi There,

To for once and for all convince my colleauges (and hopefully some
other people as well) about LISP beeing _the_ language to use (anyway,
at least I would like to kill some old myths) I am planning to make me
a website concerning LISP-performance. 

If anyone can point me to interesting articles/sites/whatever, please
let me know ! thanks !

Joachim.

please let me know to.

thanks again, Joachim.

You should find a couple of examples on http://www.franz.com/
in the "success stories" section.

Just an idea: Why not make http://www.lisp.org/table/contents.htm
an even better place and add information there, where needed...

Although I don't get the chance work on www.lisp.org as much as I
would like to, I welcome contributions.

Please don't hesitate to send mail to ·········@alu.org with any
contributions, comments, or questions.

Here is a relevant paper:

  "Floating Point Performance of Common Lisp"
  Christopher J. Vogt
  ACM SIGPLAN Notices 33(9), September 1998, page 103

By the way, I agree with Rainer that it would be better to make this
information available at the ALU site.

Well, there is always the classical book by RPG,
Performance and Evaluation of Lisp Systems.
Read the docs coming with CMUCL.
Read the chapter on optimization in Norvig's book
Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming.

Well, if you would like to write something on Lisp, about
Lisp or with Lisp, it could already have been published:

I forgot to add that the source code of the benchmarks--based on
Grabriel's--mentioned in the paper is available at:
