Which implementation of Lisp is best when speed matters?

SBCL on linux. Lightening fast. In some benchmarks it even beat C. The thing to remember with lisp is that you'll need to work to get your program to be efficient. It's not too much work but it's definitely something you'll need to do.

Thanks, I'll remember! It seems like SBCL is the general consensus. I hope I can figure out a way to get it to interface with a C library.
