Step one would be to identify why SBCL is so much faster.
Say it is faster for reasons A, B, C and D. Surely A, B, C and
D are not all unportable features, so one would first try add
the same thing to the Elisp model.

If that fails maybe one would consider ECL or some other
faster, yet portable solution ...
