     Since someone mentioned about mapping, I want to take this
opportunity to ask a question I've always wanted an answer for:

          Which CL function runs faster, DOLIST or MAP...?

(I'm doing quite a big CL program that loops extensively and I'd like to
 speed up my program.  I'm not sure if I should use DOLIST or MAP...
 in situations when I can use either.)
