[Openmcl-devel] Clozure CL 1.12.2 release

[Ron Garret]

That's actually very interesting.  I've never been able to get CCL to run on my M1 for more than about 10-15 minutes at a time under load.

Your report is also weird on another level: I bootstrapped SBCL on my M1 using ECL and the whole process took substantially less than an hour.  (I didn't time it either, but I sat through the whole thing and I tend towards impatience.)  CCL under Rosetta is flaky, but doesn't seem particularly slow.  So why would it have taken you so much longer than it took me?

I didn't write down how long it took, but I think it was 'stop the machine from sleeping and let it run overnight' levels of slow.
