one more thing although its unrelated to the performance differences seen: The Character encoding specified in the Java code is US-ASCII while the clojure reader uses UTF-8. Byte to Character encoding can make huge differences in text processing apps see http://java-performance.info/charset-encoding-decoding-java-78/.
If you know the encoding or can control what it should be use "ISO-8859-1" the JDK is optimized for this encoding as it gives a one to one byte copy match. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
