In my experience it's always possible to get java level performance out of clojure when you need it, even if that ends up meaning that you essentially write java with sexpressions and macros. However, even for "medium data", when I find clojure too slow I fall back to C/C++. I've never found myself thinking "maybe I should write this in java." Unfortunately, I can't find good examples of modern performant clojure with benchmarks at the moment. As far as I understand, the alioth benchmarks are still out of date.
