I just did a quick look over clojure/core.clj, and `reverse` is the only function which stood out to me as hitting the most pathological case. Every other `conj` loop over a user-provided datastructure is `conj`ing into an explicit non-list/`Cons` type. So I think if you replace your calls to `reverse` and any `conj` loops you have in your own code, you should see a perfectly reasonable speedup. -Marshall -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
