>>Bolla says that alioth blew it, by not asking SBCL for full optimization<< No he doesn't. The spectral-norm Lisp SBCL #2 program is Lorenzo Bolla's program - look at the program source code http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/program.php?test=spectralnorm&lang=sbcl&id=2 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/program.php?test=spect... >>he does in fact get different timing with the optimization in place<< He get's different timing but the only explanation he provides is "So, different numbers on different boxes, which is not at all unexpected."
