I checked out weblocks a while ago and then it took forever just to
expand something in the simple blog demo. However, looking at some
demo tutorials, i believe this is because i was using sbcl on windows
which does not have multithreading. I'm guessing multithreading is a
prereq for decent performance?

So what do you guys use if youre on windows? I know of ecl lisp, which
I'm not sure will compile all the libraries. And then there is clisp
which now has multithreading, but i don't think bordeaux-threads
supports it. And then i know of allegro. Not going to use LispWorks
because it has a heap limit.

So does anyone have recommendations?

Hmm.. I think Clozure CL will do, it has multithreading, fast fasl
compilation. Now to get it to install!...X)

Yes, CCL seems to be a good choice for Windows.
