I've done a fair bit of experimentation with writing games in Clojure, and
I haven't noticed any major performance issues. If you're getting issues on
a 2D asteroids clone, I suspect there might be something inefficient in
your code. I find Criterium useful for benchmarking parts of my code in
isolation to get an idea of how its running.
