Wouldn't a better test be to just suck in some large file and see what
happens?
I get the feeling with CMUCL that it doesn't spend all that much time
reading files in but does spend a fair amount in actually compiling
it. If SBCL's compiler is significantly slower than CMUCL, then the
timings will be dominated by compiling and not reading. Especially
since without fast-read-char, compiling was *faster* than with. :-)
