Yeah, state of the art GC, but SBCL and ECL run circles on performance compared to any Java turd, even if being AOT compiled with GRAAL.

Just compare the Nyxt web browser with any Java monster out there.

Do they? I had to help SBCL with bounds checks (read: disable them) when porting the Java NonBlockingHashMap to Common Lisp. Perhaps still too micro- a benchmark, and I've indeed made turds with Spring, but the rest of HotSpot would do wonders on non-turd programs. (Would also expect Graal with JIT to be faster than AOT after warmup, but no experience there.)
