Might be helpful to exchange notes with CL implementors on any wins that
can be had with any new Apple OS X features.
OS X is popular among CL hackers, sometimes for running CL locally, and
you know that CL implementors tend to be all over low-level
optimizations (sometimes to the point of working only if certain kernel
versions with certain nonstandard kernel options are set, and breaking
on a new gcc or glibc version).
(Separately, OS X laptops are also popular among CL hackers who use them
as Emacs-based front-ends to SBCL or something running on headless Linux
machines, for some goshforsaken reason.)
