Great! As someone who's still (for at least a year or so...) pondering
whether his next laptop should be a Mac or not allow me some
questions:

Does the PPC backend have threads like the x86 version? If not, do you
have plans to add them?

Otherwise, what are the main differences (things to watch out for)
compared to the x86 version (the only one I'm familiar with)? GC?
Other things?

How does CMUCL/PPC compare to OpenMCL feature- and performance-wise?

Thanks for your work on this,
Edi.
