After grabbing ABCL v0.0.10.5 from CVS, I was pleasantly surprised to  
see cl-ppcre's test suite runs (a) with the same results as reported  
by SBCL v1.0.2, and (b) with very respectable speed (sbcl v1.0.2  
finishes (cl-ppcre-test:test) in 19s here, ABCL finishes in 45s).

I was particularly surprised (pleasantly so!) by ABCL's speed.   
Running at ~50% of SBCL is entirely acceptable given ABCL's Java  
integration, attendant deployment options, and relative youth.

So, I'm pressing on.  I didn't see a TODO file in the source tree,  
and nothing similar was apparent in a couple of searches online.  I'd  
be very interested in learning what others view as the key weaknesses  
of ABCL (besides, or perhaps more specifically than those cited on  
the project page).  Such information would be very helpful in keeping  
me (and others, I would suspect) from playing hunt-the-wumpus too  
much before deciding to seriously invest in ABCL.

Thanks,

- Chas
