Usually it's more about the algorithm than the language. Java can generally do things faster than clojure, simply because it has fewer layers, but the speedup is a linear factor. If the java solution for 1000 elements takes 5ms and your clojure code takes even a second, it's likely that clojure isn't to blame. Maybe you could post one of your solutions, or simply compare it to a java solution yourself?
