As with many benchmarks, you're comparing apples and oranges. A better comparison would be with another language that uses automatic memory management (e.g., C#/mono - http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=sbcl&lang2=csharp&data=u32 http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?te...). I'm assuming the optimization/safety settings are the defaults, too, which means SBCL ends up doing a lot of additional type checking at runtime.

From looking at the source for some of the benchmarks for SBCL, it appears that almost all of them set speed to 3, debug to 0, and safety to 0.
