I am speaking only from my own experience, and only relative to my own case. 
But I've been unable to get reasonable speedups for my system, which I think 
should be an excellent candidate for multi-core speedups. And while I'm not an 
expert on JVM/Clojure performance I solicited and received advice from people 
on this list who I think are, and I'm still unable to get reasonable speedups 
-- maybe a couple of X but maybe not even that, on machines with core-counts up 
to 48. It may have to do with the kinds of tasks I'm running (lots of sequence 
manipulation and memory consumption, etc.), but for whatever reason I am still 
unable to get Clojure's oft-touted multi-core benefits.
