Doubt if that will help any. You will still have to run a garbage collector and have all the other overhead type stuff present in that sort of language. A Lisp compiler will do as well or better than a Lisp-to-C translator, I would guess. Maybe a compiler could bring you to a factor of 2 disadvantage, but I doubt it. For the factor of 4, I was assuming that a Lisp compiler would be employed, not a Lisp interpreter. With an interpreter, the factor would be 16 at least.
