Hi Andy:

Thanks a lot for your reply. I'll do more careful testing in the very near 
future and there is surely a lot to optimize in my code. I must say I did 
expect computing speed reduction coming from an already optimized codebase 
with the perfomance critical parts written in C, and there is an 
intentional trade off in my porting effort to get something more 
maintainable, extensible and scalable. My future plans are to run in a 
cluster on something like EC2, because I've made the numbers and buying 
hardware isn't cost effective for us anymore (we paid around EUR 10K for 
our last big computer and we can do a lot of computing in the cloud for 
that money). Since the software is used for research, we tend to add 
features and change it so that it simulates the different scenarios coming 
out of our scientific discussions: This means we spend almost as much time 
coding as simulating, and having a higher level language like Clojure helps 
us enormously.

I'll keep you posted about my future performance tests and the Open Source 
release of the software.

Best,

Jose.
