emacs running slow with clisp and ilisp

emacs running slow with clisp and ilisp

Hello, 
I'm not wonder is 

I've followed the excellent instructions as to how to setup an ide with emacs and clisp at http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/windows.html and by I used the sample .emacs found there file. 

It all works fine in that when I invoke clisp (F5) clisp runs, but very very slowly. The reaction time to keyboard input is slower than a very slow thing. 

Is there any way to speed it up, or is a 500mhz machine with 256mb memory not really up to it? 

Thanks 
Adam

that's odd, i regularly use clisp+ilisp for hours on end and have
never noticied any speed problems, of course emacs is the only thing
running at the time, but it's an old machine. (p2 233mhz / 64mb of
memory)
