But these constraints are not absolute truths. At least not in Common Lisp: The language spec is not as constrained as described here and the compilers add some additional freedom. For example it's easy to turn array bounds checks off for either some part(s) of the code or even globally for the whole code. You are right, it's not always easy to get maximum performance with Lisp (and sometimes even not possible), but it is possible to get really good performance and sometime it's even possible to outperform C code. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
