It depends on the implementation. CLISP compiles when it is told to.
Last I checked, CLISP compiles to byte code. Did they add a JITter for the byte code?
Compiling to bytecode is still compilation. An interpreter would operate directly on the S-expressions. Obviously, this makes some constructs (such as TAGBODY) very inefficient.
There is a jit branch, but not in master.
