The two functions below should return true if the first argument is
divisible by any of the prime numbers (ascending) in the second
argument, and false otherwise. But the second function is much slower.
I haven't been able to figure out why. Can you?

Also, if there is a more idiomatic way, please share :)

(defn divisable? [n coll]
  (let [count (count coll)
        mx (int (Math/sqrt n))]
    (loop [j 0]
      (cond (= j count) true
            (> (nth coll j) mx) true
            (factor? n (nth coll j)) false
            :else (recur (inc j))))))

(defn divisable-slow? [n coll]
  (let [limit (int (Math/sqrt n))]
    (not-any? #(factor? n %) (filter #(<= % limit) coll))))
