+changes in sbcl-1.0.18 relative to 1.0.17:
+  * optimization: structure allocation has been improved
+    ** constructors created by non-toplevel DEFSTRUCTs are ~40% faster.
+    ** out of line constructors are ~10% faster.
+    ** inline constructors are ~15% faster.
+    ** inline constructors are capable of dynamic extent allocation
+       (generally on x86 and x86-64, in some cases on other platforms
+       as well.)
