+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.)

 changes in sbcl-1.0.17 relative to 1.0.16:
+  * temporary regression: user code can no longer allocate closure
+    variable storage on stack, due to bug 419 without explicitly
+    requesting it. Please consult sbcl-devel for advice if you need to
+    use this feature in the meanwhile.
+  * new feature: runtime argument --control-stack-size can be used to
+    adjust thread default control stack size.
+  * enhancement: improved TIME output
+    ** all times are reported using the measured accuracy (milliseconds
+       for real and GC times, microseconds for everything else.)
+    ** processor cycle counts on x86 and x86-64.
+    ** interpreted forms are counted for both evaluator modes.
+    ** number of lambdas converted by the compiler is reported.
+    ** CPU percentage report (computed from real and total run time.)
+    ** more comprehensive run time reporting, using a condenced format
+    ** interperted form, lambda, and page fault counts are omitted
+       when zero.
   * optimization: ADJOIN and PUSHNEW are upto ~70% faster in normal
     SPEED policies.
   * optimization: APPEND is upto ~10% faster in normal SPEED policies.
