I am content with the increase of speed going from UserRPL to SysRPL. I believe SysRPL is as far as I should go, after learning UserRPL no less.

If speed is all you are looking for, newRPL is very close (nearly identical) to userRPL, and the result is faster than sysRPL (in those benchmarks newRPL is running *exactly* the same code as the userRPL entry), so I'm not sure sysRPL would be a good choice for a second language. If your objective is learning (rather than speed), perhaps C would be more useful, since it's more common in many platforms. Lua is also quite common in video game engines and in many applications as scripting language. I'd think learning C or Lua might get you a job in the future. But you have time to decide.
