Racket is definitely slower than Common Lisp. But it is one of the fastest Schemes on the market currently^1. But it also has the ability to create static executables, runs on M1 macs, has a statically typed sister language, a build in package manager, and gui library. And it's faster than other dynamically typed languages like Python when looking at pure implementations (not written in C). So there are still a lot of reasons to use it over Common Lisp if any of those things appeal to you
