 The derived type of (/ (THE (DOUBLE-FLOAT (0D0)) X) (THE (DOUBLE-FLOAT
 1D0) Y)) is (DOUBLE-FLOAT 0.0d0). While it might be reasonable, it is
-better to derive (DOUBLE-FLOAT (-0.0d0)).

+On the alpha, the system is reluctant to refer directly to a constant bignum,
+preferring to load a large constant through a slow sequence of instructions,
+then cons up a bignum for it:
