Actually, it was faster than all other Lisp implementations at the time.  Only when even faster generalized CPUs came out that Lisp could run at a comparable speed (and still not quite as fast for a short while.
And if GC was directly implemented in hardware.  I salivate at the though.

It's not the whole packaged without the (near)Lisp-native cpu.  Plus, I've heard the emulator for that is pretty dodgy.
