This is a valid concern. I did another test run, where really only the
traversal and the access is done in the benchmark. But to be honest:
my gut feeling sound the alarm bells about "do you test what you claim
you test or does HotSpot do its magic and optimises things away?"
user=> (let [s (doall (take 10000 (range)))]
(bench
(loop [s s i 0]
(if (empty? s)
i
(recur (rest s) (first s))))))
Evaluation count : 42060
Execution time mean : 1,423636 ms 95,0% CI: (1,423576 ms,
1,423708 ms)
Execution time std-deviation : 236,456463 us 95,0% CI: (235,124875
us, 238,050869 us)
Found 4 outliers in 60 samples (6,6667 %)
low-severe 4 (6,6667 %)
Variance from outliers : 1,6389 % Variance is slightly inflated by
outliers
nil
user=> (let [s (doall (take 10000 (range)))]
(bench
(loop [s (seq s) i 0]
(if s
(recur (next s) (first s))
i))))

That means:
0.801433279ms / 1.423636ms ~ 0.56 => 44% improvement?
