To be fair, if you use CL in a similarly dynamic way as Python (don't compile anything, don't add any declarations etc) it won't be that much faster. You'll get some boost out of the stdlib stuff being compiled already, but otherwise it will incur similar performance penalties.

We can add Smalltalk, SELF, Dylan, JavaScript into the discussion then.

Kind of, I left it out on purpose, as it was designed with strong typing in mind, and I only wanted to list dynamic languages with good JIT support.
