Re: Amulet 3 times faster than Garnet



A system is always be faster when reimplemented from scratch.

I redid the kernel of our expert system shell in pure CLOS and asked a
student to port the same stuff to c++.

My reimplementation gave a factor of 10 speed improvement to the original
lisp version (and it does not cons at all) while to my surprise the c++
code is not  faster than my clos code (MCL versus CodeWarrior 6 on Mac with
sys 7.5.1)
