Then why is Andy's code 10x slower?

I've seen that. There is a difference between "I can come up with two
snippets in Java and Clojure doing the same thing at the same speed"
and "For any Java code, I can write Clojure code that does exactly the
same thing just as fast". The difference is in quantification:
universal vs existential. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantification#Logic
