Lucid is the name of an independent company that developed the
LISP compiler for the 68000's.  They sell it to a number of companies
including SUN, Apollo, etc. 

The president (or CEO, I'm not sure which) of LUCID is the same
Gabriel who authored the Gabriel benchmarks and helped write the
Common Lisp book; so you can rest assured that their lisp completely
follows the standard.

I have looked at benchmarks for their Lisp on the SUNs, and they are
very impressive. Almost as fast as the Symbolics
