I'm assuming you are referring to https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp which I gather is an attempt to make a Lisp that fits in a disk boot sector?
Please see https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/#performance where I mention how one small modification to SectorLISP allows it to outperform Emacs Lisp. Outperforming Emacs Lisp isn't difficult, since Emacs implements a dynamically scoped lisp. If you're interested in seeing a really fast LISP interpreter, I wrote an experiment about a year ago using some dirty systems hacks and popcount to achieve just that. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/tree/master/tool/plinko
