I found through clim.flamegraph that a lot of time was spent in printing local-time timestamps. So I just used decode-universal-time and this function to print a timestamp the same way:
The HyperSpec is a (derived work of a) language specification - its job is precisely to explain infrequently used things in too much detail. (And it ironically fails in many places.) Generally, one does not want to read a specification, unless they know they need to check something specific.
The HyperSpec does leave a lot to be desired, but it is technically a specification. The Common Lisp Cookbook is great and I thing people should be willing to add more to it.
