- I am running some pretty heavy Common Lisp, which currently takes over 1
- week to run on a Mac Quadra 950 (fast 68040) using MCL 2.0. Can anyone
- please suggest a hardware solution (cost is accepted!) which will run at
- 10-20 times the speed?
-
- It has been suggested that a TI Explorer might help - could anyone
- suggest a good Explorer configuration (I currently work in 6 megs of RAM
- for MCL, but it still does plenty of GCing) and whether this is likely to
- give the sort of speed increase that I desire, please?
