Our University, currently a user of Sun Common Lisp 2.0.3, is considering
whether to get a newer version of Sun Common Lisp or to switch to IBUKI
Common Lisp.  IBUKI seems attractive because they offer a site lisence and 
it will run on many machines, but I am unsure how its performance compares.

Does anyone have any experience to report on IBUKI Common Lisp especially
in comparison with Sun Common Lisp?  I'm particularly interested in 
performance aspects and whether the same set of programs will actually
run on both.

Thanks in advance,
