LispWorks is suitable for production operation in the current release.
Performance is very good.

The MCL port is very complete, but suffers from some unreliability in the
MCL TCP interface. See Rainer Joswig's performance comparisons for
MacOSX: <http://lispm.dyndns.org:8000/lisp/benchmarks.html>

Open MCL probably eliminates these issues, but nobody has come up with a
CL-HTTP port to it yet. This would be a really good idea.
