Sure. I'm not saying I'm a good programmer. From the comments here a lot of people seem surprised that any clojure version isn't automatically faster than a python one, just by the intrinsic fastness of clojure. I just don't think clojure is the go-to language for simple raw speed, but apparently I hit a nerve saying it's not super-fast because I'm getting downvoted.

As a clojure novice I would assume that just by using pmap over map, computation would be faster, but it doesn't seem like it, I've experimented a little but never gotten very good at optimizing speed in clojure, here's a little test where I thought I could get at some multi-core goodness by using pmap, but probably the lazy structures are fooling me.
