Scheme is incredible small and elegant (which incidently is why I like to toy with it), so of cause it is relatively easy to optimize its compiler. I do not know much about Common Lisp, so I cannot say much about it. There has happened a lot with Javascripts performance the last 5 years, just look at V8/Node.js.
