Perhaps some of those Clojure programs include code that isn't actually required, for example, code to display a usage message? Perhaps some of those Clojure programs are written to use all the cores on the quad-core machine and the programs you have compared them with are only written to use one core? Memory use was what I noticed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
