- I'll just add to what Moon said: for raw lisp speed, the top of the line
- is probably a CM-5 running *Lisp (a parallel dialect of Common Lisp).
- There's a *Lisp simulator on the MCL cd, in case you have a friend with
- a spare Connection Machine handy.
-
- More realistically, you should probably contact the major unix Lisp
- vendors (Lucid, Franz, Harlequin, ILOG, and Ibuki) and see if their
- implementations run on this week's fastest/cheapest Unix RISC station
- (probably HP 700, Decstation, or IBM RS/6000).
