Others have added useful points to this thread. Java string concatenation
internally uses StringBuilder, so if you replace (str n "another word")
with the following:
(let [sb (StringBuilder.)]
(.append sb n)
(.append sb "another word")
(.toString sb))
..then the perf improves 1/4 to 1/3. Further, with the following tweak:
(let [sb (StringBuilder. 20)] ; because StringBuilder allocates only 16
chars by default on Oracle JRE
(.append sb n)
(.append sb "another word")
(.toString sb))
..the perf improves from 1/3 to less than 1/2. Here we simply avoid double
allocation in StringBuilder.
Other things I made sure were:
1. I used Criterium to measure
2. I used `-server` option
3. Made sure reflection warning was on
