There has never been a 64 bit port of CMUCL.

I volunteered to take over but real life got in the way. I don't have any 32 bit FreeBSD installations left in my home farm. So to build the 32 bit binaries for various FreeBSD versions I probably need to install a bunch of chroots, which then need the usual enter-chroot customization blues.

I'll see whether I can get my behind in gear and get this going this weekend. Interesting you have lower performance in SBCL. Are you comparing a 64 bit SBCL with a 32 bit CMUCL? Is your SBCL binary (whichever bitcount) compiled with thread support?
