This has nothing to do directly with Clojure :) The JVM needs to load the class(es) involved. It involves obtaining the class files from disk or cache if lucky (an already opened jar file ?). Then some wiring has to be done to insure that the references needed from the class(es) are met, After these steps then optimizations can kick in so future calls are optimized if necessary.
The Clojure merely spits out classes like the Java compiler does.
