Currently, but hopefully no longer in the near future, SBCL’s garbage collector is extremely meh. It’s hard to tune, it stops the world, etc.

Otherwise SBCL is a wonderful implementation.

I used Clozure CL (and I'm now a LispWorks customer) for this reason.

Is there some recent work going on in SBCL on its GC?

yes!
