Yes, unfortunately the CLISP-hosted build is quite slow. It would be nice if there were a better choice for a C-based CL implementation to use, but the only alternative (ECL) seems to be even slower. There is still the native_bootstrap option which uses an existing installed SBCL package, it's much quicker. I don't know of anything in particular that needs testing, just whatever CL code you might want to run under SBCL.
