Has anyone recently done a comparison between the major common lisp
brands?  Does anyone have any advice for someone potentially
interested in having on the order of 25 machines concurrently running
common lisp?  What are the tradeoffs?  Are the symbolic programming
environments that Allegro, and Lucid have worth it?  Primary machines
would be Sun 3/50's Sun 3/60's and Sun 4's.  How compatible are the
ports from the same vendor to different machines (e.g. DECstations?,
NeXt, etc.).  What kind of resources are required to run each of these
brands with CLOS, and an X window environment at the same time? What
if we throw in an SPE?
