I had exactly the same problem the first time I tried to add CMUCL
support. The line that helped CMUCL was (mp:process-yield), which made
an order-of-magnitude difference in the amount of wasted time in the
polling loop (though it would be better to not have a polling loop at
all). Does OpenMCL have something similar? It sounds like you are most
of the way there. The hard part is making it work at all, and you've
done that. Optimizing to boost the speed is comparatively easy. <br>
<br>
If you can't find a way to improve the speed, it might be okay to
submit your changes as they stand. Add a comment line in the event-wait
function indicating that some optimization is needed for the OpenMCL
version, make a similar note in the patch description, and submit the
90% solution that might be useful as-is and that we can work on
improving later.<br>
