primitive hinted fns will get inlined. You can also play the same kinds of games that Clojure does with definterface+deftype and fns that declare :inline metadata.
If you don't want to learn the subtleties of Clojure performance tuning then you can always write your performance critical bits in Java and call into it. Some folks, like the people at Prismatic, seem to be doing pretty well writing all their performance critical code in Clojure, but they've built some tools to avoid the various potential pitfalls.
