Okay, a working Pi 4 finally arrived; it's consistently about 4× faster than the old Pi 2 on SICL bootstrapping, Netfarm and whatever else I could think of to test with.

I didn't pull after my test on the old Pi, which would be more fair. But I'll pull and try again...

It is taking a lot longer, and it's been loading Conditions/Portable-condition-system/condition-hierarchy.fasl for a few minutes now.

no-defun-allowed: However, ST has an image which is not bootstrapped; there are bits in this image that were set before 1980, and for which there is no corresponding source code.

no-defun-allowed: You can see why I want heisig to come back from vacation, so that he can speed up HIR execution. :)

I would make an analogy between the image and virtual machine in Smalltalk, and the graph of objects and the HIR interpreter in a similarly implemented Common Lisp implementation.

Oh, but a bootstrap process should probably produce that graph for Common Lisp. Never mind then.

I would not advise throwing out any computers, especially not for that then :)

Yeah. I have other reasons for wanting to throw it out, but not strong enough to actually act upon them.

But I guess I haven't paid too much attention to the stuff that works and can be loaded into a SICL environment now.
