 BS> Why not?  Lisp is good at recursion, after all.

Some Lisp variants are, but not Emacs Lisp, here is a cut from the
Tips section of the elisp info pages:

Tips for Making Compiled Code Fast

   Here are ways of improving the execution speed of byte-compiled Lisp
programs.

...

   * Use iteration rather than recursion whenever possible.  Function
     calls are slow in Emacs Lisp even when a compiled function is
     calling another compiled function.

Kind Regards
