(defn next-term [n]
  (if (= (mod n 2) 0) (/ n 2)
      (inc (* n 3))))

(defn count-terms [n]
  (if (= 1 n) 1
      (inc (count-terms (next-term n)))))

(time
 (let [pair (juxt identity count-terms)
       pairs (map pair (range 1 100000))]
   (println (first (apply max-key second pairs)))))

It looks even? is the culprit here. The code above executes in < 1 sec on my
machine.

So it looks like even? needs to repaired to account for the numeric changes.
