Re: fastest lisp machine?

Hi there,

I think Apple's latest PowerMac G5 (with two 64-bit PowerPC processors) is =
the fastest platform to run the free MCL 5.2 (or 6.0) with CL-HTTP inside i=
t. But another obvious option should be the new black Mac Pro recently sold=
 by Apple, plus commercial 64-bit LispWorks Enterprise for Mac, plus the la=
st snapshot of CL-HTTP (if you can get it from one of its developer).  As f=
ar as I know, MCL doesn't support multi-core, so your CL-HTTP application r=
unning on MCL can only make use of single PowerPC CPU, but LispWorks 6.x su=
pport SMP very well, and CL-HTTP running on it can use all CPU/cores in cur=
rent system.

Hope this helps,
