Good call. How daft of me not to include it.
Here's the table with the psyco result on the same machine as the rest.
Name Interpreted Compiled With declarations Psyco
LispWorks 66 1.0 1.6
Clisp 41 9.5 9.5
CMUCL Got bored waiting 1.5 0.45
SBCL Compiles everything 1.6 0.49
Python Compiles everything 20 0.64
gcc No interactivity 0.29
Could we now just all agree, once and for all, that compiling dynamic
languages to native binary really can give significant speedups?
(No, of course we can't ... oh well :-)
