"Erzats" PicoLisp runs anywhere Java runs, that was it's original reason for existance - to be used in bootstrapping the compilation of PicoLisp, IIRC.
However, nowadays, I think Erzats PicoLisp, AKA the Java version of PicoLisp, gots too little love. It's an interesting way of accessing the JVM, just like Groovy or Clojure. Also, I don't have benchmarks, but PicoLisp is pretty damn fast owing to minimal datastructures and I would expect that to spill over into the Java implementation.
Alexander has a "Need for Speed" article where he shows it's in the neighborhood of Clisp, but Clisp isn't really all that fast. Comparing to SBCL would be more useful as it is very fast.
