 A possible solution, though, is to use "resources".  These are collections
 of similar objects that are made available for reuse when they're no longer
 needed instead of becoming garbage.  Some Common Lisp implementations
 (Symbolics, Lucid, probably Franz) provide them as an extension; if you're
 using an implementation that doesn't, it's pretty easy to write yourself
 (there may even have been an article in a past issue of Lisp Pointers that
 discussed them and provided an implementation).

In fact, there is a version available in cl-lib or Mark's archive that I 
wrote (called resources.lisp); both are mentioned in the FAQ as to where to 
look. Known to work in allegro and symbolics (though unecessary on the latter).
