I recently integrated Clojure with two async messaging systems.
I wound up doing "send" operations through a Clojure agent.
I was curious how many agents I could spawn per second and found I
could spawn about 20K agents / second.

Code for testing:

(def t (agent true))

(defn tt [_ num]
     (try
       (let [x (inc num)])
       (catch Throwable t (println "error"))))

(defn agent-speed-test []
     (time (loop [b 1]
             (send-off t tt b)
             (if (> b 20000)
               b
               (recur (inc b))))))

After a few iterations in the repl (started with -server) my best time
was:
"Elapsed time: 1021.700789 msecs" - which is pretty much exactly 20k/
s.

CPU: 2.4GHz Core2 Duo.
Java 1.6.0_14-ea-b03
Clojure from git/master around Sept/2009.
