Here's Lisp (SBCL) vs. Python 3: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64/compare.php?lang=sbcl&lang2=python3 http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64/compare.php?lang... Summary: crushes it.

Well, the SBCL code includes code for literally generating assembly code specific to x86-64 to get that performance and is 3 times as long as Python. Presumably the inline assembly code is not part of any LISP standard but highly specific to that specific LISP implementation.

  That's only the mandelbrot benchmark.
