Try this: (dotimes (k 2) (sb-thread:make-thread (lambda () (loop with x = 0 do (incf x))))) If you do a (print) instead of some computation than you'll not be able to stress the CPU because time will be wasted on IO ...

I started learning CL after writing some Emacs customization functions and quickly noticed the difference.

I use this function (stolen from the internet) and it works with both clisp and sbcl: (defun register-asdf-systems (&key (verbose nil)) "Registers packages in asdf-registry directory with the asdf central registry" (dolist (dir-candidate (directory "/path/to/site-systems/*/")...
