I am a newbie in lisp and knowing how fast the data structures like a linked list, dequeue a tree, etc can be in c/c++ I am looking for a tutorial or an advice how to implement efficiently those structures in lisp (having performance in mind).

Just like in C++.  An algorithm is an algorithm.

A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.

Just Do It. If it is slow, post the code here with a subject saying "Lisp Is Slower Than Molasses" and we'll all rewrite for you to make it just 20% slower than C. Pascal's version will erase your hard drive.

I'm only contributing 27 delete-files over 1452 in quicklisp distributed
libraries:

[pjb@kuiper :0 mclgui]$ find ~/src/public/lisp/ -name \*.lisp -exec grep -i '(delete-file' {} \;|wc -l 
27
[pjb@kuiper :0 mclgui]$ find ~/quicklisp/ -name \*.lisp -exec grep -i '(delete-file' {} \;|wc -l 
1452
