Ooh! I don't think I've ever seen someone claim Chez Scheme produced faster code than SBCL before. That's interesting.


It is hard to claim, because there are hardly any benchmarks. I just had the opportunity to move between the implementations and found chez to be faster for the kind of things I was doing, which was numerical stuff and loops.

SBCL is also an amazing project, and lately the GC story has gotten better IIRC.
