When I was putting together lessons to teach Clojure, I was analyzing texts
from Gutenberg and doing things like counting the number of words, and the
frequency and distribution of words, and things like that, and "partial"
was noticeably slower. FWIW.

All functions returned by a given arity of partial or comp are of the same
Java class under the hood, whereas defining an anonymous function always
generates a new class, and I've heard that fewer classes can result in
better performance from a JIT perspective. But I'm just speculating and
haven't
It's been a long time since I looked at this, but as of a few years ago,
the biggest noticeable performance detriment of comp or partial was likely
to come if you pass enough args to hit a "& args" overload, which requires
creating a fresh object array at each call, when the underlying function
Is there a performance benefit (or detriment) to creating partial functions?
Other than the potential reduction of complexity, is there a difference between
using partial & comp and defining new functions?
