Does anyone have an estimate of the difference in speed between Lucid
on a Sun 3 and Lucid on a Sun 4?

How about between Lucid on a Sun 4 and C on a Sun 3?  (I mean the
typical no-error-checking style of C programming.)


How about these comparisons with any other Lisp?


Rough estimates are OK.  I don't need true benchmarks.  I realize the
the Lisp/C comparison depends a lot on the assumptions you make.  The
code I'm planning on will be fairly math-intensive.

Thanks,
Dave
