Some things that have been added<div><br></div><div>* Better compiler macros for MAKE-ARRAY, AREF, ASET</div><div>* Speedup in compilation of LET/LET* forms, with more accurate constant elimination and a little bit of type inference (really tiny bit)</div>
<div>* A new special form EXT:COMPILER-TYPECASE to generate different code paths depending on the type of the argument.</div><div>* Application of that macro for optimizing DOTIMES</div><div>* LOOP can declare the type of its arguments when it knows the loop size.</div>
<div>* Better declarations in the pretty printer, leading to more efficient code where safety is not a problem.</div><div>,,,</div><div>many I do not remember.</div><div><br></div><div>I attach below the evolution of CL-BENCH through from the last stable release (ECLO, ECLOi), through the unstable sources of tonight (ECLx) and some intermediate steps (ECL, ECLi). You will notice some dramatic changes, for instance in the pretty printing code. However those changes are just due to a few declarations. This emphasizes the fact that stupid, tiny fractions of code can concentrate all the performance sinks of your code. Please realize that the same is happening at other places. For instance ARRAY-1D is not really testing the speed of arrays, but the that of assertions, and similar problems elsewhere. They will have to be solved one by one.</div>
