Ah forgot that the core.async folks mentioned that if you want performance its best to use real threads.
(time (let [c (chan 100)] (thread (dotimes [i 100000] (>!! c i)) (close! c)) (prn (<!! (thread (loop [i nil] (if-let [x (<!! c)] (recur x) i))))))) finishes in about 100ms which seems reasonable, just can't have too many of those threads open.
