Are we talking `floor' as in (floor 3.1415) ; 3 ?

How do we make a benchmark for that? Run it 1000+ times for
random floats? But maybe SBCL has faster random as well!

Actually, even I have a better random than Elisp:

  https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/random-urandom/

It is more random than `random', using the Linux random.
But I didn't compare them in terms of speed. It is a so called
dynamic module, that is, not built-in but still written in C.

Anyway, I'd be happy to add something `floor' to the
benchmarks, for sure!
