Has anyone written any large common lisp programs in Lyric on the 1108?
We have found Lyric to be essentially unusable because it is
too slow and there is not enough stack space to do interpreted execution
of sizable programs for debugging.  We've stopped running background
processes because we need the stack space.

Is anyone else out there having these problems?  I'm curious if
a substantial portion of the developers have ever run Lyric on anything
except an 8Meg 1132.
