benchmarking

Uh, have been a bit behind due to an excessive trave schedule in October.
So far, I am following your conversation, but don't have much more to
say than you have already done.  Except to voice the opinion that it
really is still a flaw of Lisp , perhaps inherent, that only the
compiler writer's really seem to understand how to make declarations.
Your comment about disassembling the code and trying again is really
"right on" (and maybe the same for LOOP too?).  Only say Rob disagree
with this pessimistic view, but then again, he is a Lisp compiler
writer . . .
