I guess you're referring to this: https://log.schemescape.com/posts/lisp/sbcl-file-perf-window... That article points out that the issue arises only on Windows. Do you have any evidence of such an issue on Linux or other OS?

I scanned the docs but don't see it mentioned.

Presumably basing Jolt on Chez removes the limitation of the JVM? It could be an interesting selling point.

Ideally I would like to be able to ask a user for their Google/Microsoft/Apple email address and just drop it into a config file for authorization. The user then autenticates themselves at their G/M/A Id server and gets access. Or is this too simplistic?

When my Emacs opens a markdown file it immediately converts it into OrgMode format. I find that more readable, more navigable and more editable.
