Howdy folks,

Currently I'm using my own object-oriented constructs with Common
Lisp, but I would like to switch to CLOS because of the greater
flexibility and ease of use.  My one concern is the speed of generic
calls.  In the versions of CLOS that you use, how does the speed of
generic calls compare to that of vanilla function calls?  I'm
particularly interested in versions of Common Lisp that run on Sun
4's.

Thanks,
David
