I would like to do the following change to install.rst (and
consequently INSTALL). This is mostly change due to Ralf,
but I did small change to Aldor instructions. Now it is
enough to give '--enable-aldor' to make Aldor interface,
do I removed part about changing directores and 'make'
in the subdirectory.

I also did small change to performance comparison corresponding
to my latest measurements.

I've added your changes to my patch and also corrected a little.

It would be ready to commit (patch attached).

The "than" in line 73 looks a bit weird. Shouldn't it be "then"?

https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/blob/update-doc-aldor-interface/src/doc/sphinx/source/install.rst?plain=1#L73

On 64-bit AMD64 on average SBCL is the fastest one (9 times faster than
CLISP), Clozure CL and GCL the second (about 3 times slower than SBCL),
than ECL (about 7 times slower than SBCL) and CLISP is the slowest
^^^^
one. Note: very old versions of ECL were much (about 4 times) slower,
versions from about 7-10 years ago gave best performance and
newest ECL versions are progressively slower.

OK, please commit (with correction below).

Yes, it should be "then".
