This talks about GC settings that worked for them in SBCL for production, not sure if you already tried the same kind of stuff but may be an interesting read http://tech.grammarly.com/blog/posts/Running-Lisp-in-Product....

If you can make an easy to run example of the garbage collector not working correctly, the folks in #sbcl on freenode are very responsive and have commit access to fix it.

Good to hear someone had good interactions in #sbcl Still have a bitter taste from attempting to report the issue there.

Yeah, i've had good and bad interactions.

They seem to be cranky due to getting a lot of idiots (including sometimes me) coming in thinking something is sbcl when it was actually the programmer's fault.

Generally if I think something is sbcl now I put together example code that clearly shows the issue and that seems to work well.
