i meant two lisp threads running simultaneously on two processors/cores.

yes, i'm thinking of doing SemanticWeb-related stuff.
afaik LispWorks have Prolog. i think they can upgrade it to RDF-reasoner,
add some triple store support -- and sell it as a kewl Semantic Web toolkit,
that sounds much better than old Prolog :).

??>> and as for performace, i don't think lispworks will win here.

BA> Why?

i've benchmarked them once.. i'm a benchmark maniac, so i have developed
feeling of what runs at what pace.
(and i don't just run benchmarks -- this friday i've optimized application
60-70% in critical area using native threads, but it's not related to
Lisp..).

BA> How about a vastly superior IDE,

better than SLIME? :)
well, i'm now struggling with ABCL that is not able to provide any debugging
features, so i have to debug via print and meditation :). so more sane IDE
would be great, but none of implementations satisfy my criterias :(

BA> and the CAPI toolkit?

not interested in GUI.
