Hi David,

You say "If I have openmcl running in a terminal, the same function  
will recompile instantly." - what does "recompile" mean? Are you sure  
that you're calling COMPILE on it? I remember mentions of bad  
performance when compiling constants on openmcl-devel - this could be  
my memory playing tricks on me, though.
