SBCL is a cleaner version of CMUCL.  I think you can strip SBCL down
to the core, without the full 1500+ functions of Common Lisp, where as
CMUCL too more intertwined.  SBCL is still "beta" but seems quite
popular already.  See http://cliki.net/SBCL

Be aware that you're hearing this from a complete Lisp newbie!
