It says:

  CLOCC contains a package (elisp.lisp) that implements some
  part of elisp in CL.Also includes an elisp emulation package
  from Ingvar Mattsson: note that this is not the same as the
  CLOCC package below

Sounds cool (probably a cool guy, Ingvar Mattson BTW) however
changing software altogether because Elisp is slow, maybe
that's to burn down the house to kill the rats.

I am aware of Emacs forks as well as other implementations
altogether but then the problem arises everyone still wants to
use familiar software, e.g. Gnus, Emacs-w3m, ERC ...

But maybe one could integrate parts of that solution into
Emacs to have the cake and eat it as well. Is the CL in
CL-Emacs as fast as compiled CL from SBCL?
