PCL on Symbolics machines

[William Clagett <clagett@cs.unc.edu>]

Has anybody run any timing tests on Symbolics machines for Flavors
vs. PCL?  I realize this isn't really comparing apples and apples,
but we have a large system, running under flavors on Symbolics
machines, that we would like to convert to PCL.  We have intentionally
avoided using anything that would be difficult to port (we've even
avoided :before and :after daemons because they weren't implemented in
PCL when we started).  We want to be able to use some of the nicer
features of PCL, but are afraid that the performance hit may not be 
worth it. 

Any input would be appreciated.
