what do you mean by "faster?"
faster in operation?
faster in design?
faster than a speeding bullet?
what?

Sometimes these engineering decisions are a matter of compromise. I
don't think you would want to code an http server in assembly language
just because you want a high number of transactions per second. But if
you do, you can always optimize by interfacing to C.
Of course, you should be the final judge of what actual performance you
need and to do this you must try and actual Lisp server, conduct certain
tests and then come to a conclusion.
Let me ask you this. Have you tried any of the Lisp servers yet?

Lisp systems are excellent for quickly prototyping your ideas and trying
them out in the environment. Write small, manageable functions, test
them, then build higher levels of abstraction upon them. Try a Lisp
development environment. Come to a conclusion.
Do you think this will help you out in time-to-market?

Lisp apps don't have to be shut down to be upgraded.
Is this fast enough?
In the end, you are the only one who can answer these question.
Who are you trying to convince?

For all this, you need to be a smart, "self-starting" person who get
things done.

We have built a full application server with LISP it now is serving a
POKER site.
We used SBCL and EMACS to build it with some stuff at the back end. Now
development is much faster than when we were building ASP based
websites, also people have tried to hack our server with no success
(basically because it doesn't understand what they are trying to make
it do!)

Well, already using lisp allows you to build dynamic web sites better
than with anything else. Better as in faster (less programmer time),
better as in funnier (it's funnier to code lisp than anything else
(but perhaps intercal)), etc.

Programming.
You can also use various libraries such as UCW, Aserve, Araneida, etc.

Faster than what?
Do you have a 1 Gb/s link between your web site and your customers?

I have a much more important question. How can I have enough spare
time to troll comp.lang.lisp every few weeks? I am swamped right now
and want to know your time management secret that allows this.
