Looking at clojure's benchmarks they seem to already be highly optimized (in terms of employing all the standard tricks). Does anyone have any idea if more could be done to lessen the gap between java and clojure[1]? Or are these benchmarks representative of the performance gap between clojure and java for these types of problems?

I haven't found this to be the case. Java fares pretty well on Alioth.

    enough iterations to engage the optimizer.
