I investigated a little bit more. Seems that (into-array) is slows
things down because it seqs (un-necessarily?) that vector before
passing to clojure.lang.RT/seqToTypedArray.
I almost doubled the speed of sorted-vec by using clojure.lang.RT/
toArray:
(defn sorted-vec2
[coll]
(let [arr (clojure.lang.RT/toArray coll)]
(java.util.Arrays/sort arr)
(vec arr)))
user=> (time(dotimes [_ 1000] (sorted-vec2 v)))
"Elapsed time: 3502.369933 msecs"
user=> (time(dotimes [_ 1000] (sorted-vec v)))
"Elapsed time: 5874.088425 msecs"
