CLOS slot access

[Brad.Myers@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu]

What is the fastest way to do slot accesses in CLOS?
We are using
	(defclass foo ()
	  (slot1 :initform NIL)
	  ....
	  )
	(:accessor-prefix))

	(defmethod bar ((f foo))
	  (clos::with-slots* (slot1) f
	     (setf slot1 3) ; setting
	     (+ 6 slot1)    ; access
	    
>From Gregor's message, I got the impression that this was wrong.  Is there
a better/faster way to access fields of objects?  We are using the
February 3, 1988 release of PCL/CLOS.
