Hi guys, I'm loving Clojure, but i'm having a lot of trouble writing programs in it that run as fast as my python equivalents. One example is code i've written for projecteuler.net problem 87 (for those who don't want to see any solutions don't click the links below :)) my python version http://github.com/tristan/project-euler-code/blob/4a17bc271b4b2743ee1d5b5692f86f963c6bcc7b/0087.py runs in ~4 seconds (timed using cygwin "time python 0087.py" whereas my clojure version http://github.com/tristan/project-euler-code/blob/4a17bc271b4b2743ee1d5b5692f86f963c6bcc7b/0087.clj takes over 20 seconds (time gotten from (time call in the code). This is quite disheartening for me as well since i wrote the python version in about a minute and haven't even thought about optimizations yet. It was just written as a test since i was unhappy with the speed of my clojure version even after re-writing it a few times and shaving off about 20 seconds from my original.
I'm sure there must be something i'm doing wrong, or thinking wrongly about hence why i'm not getting the speed i need. Can anyone suggest any alternate ways to write this? or anything to speed it up? I really enjoy programming in Clojure, but speed is starting to become an issue with me.
