I have been using Clojure to write tests on RESTful applications.
Since the requests are independent, parallelizing would speed things
along. What is the best approach? Using pmap is the obvious first
step. Afaik, pmap only creates a small pool of threads. Is there more
to gain by going to the
There's an approach using agents described here:

It's a bit old, so somethings in the example could be a bit outdated, but
the idea may help you forward,

Andy,
You can also look into using futures (pmap uses future).
In section 11.6.1 of Joy of Clojure there is a recipe how to
dispatch multiple RPC calls in parallel using as-futures macro.
Obviously, this depends on what you want to do with results of your
REST calls.

Clojure futures use the send-off thread-pool (unbounded), which is defined
like this:
from Agent.java:
final public static ExecutorService soloExecutor =
Executors.newCachedThreadPool(createThreadFactory(clojure-agent-send-off-pool-%d,
sendOffThreadPoolCounter));
So, it's using executors.
