Take, for example, a benchmark involving running (transduce (take 64) + (iterate inc 0)) a total of 10,000 times when compiled with :advanced optimizations. You can try this benchmark on your machine, but we are seeing this run 4.5 times faster under V8 and SpiderMonkey, and 3.3 times faster on JavaScriptCore. In addition, this provides a way to process large output without involving intermediate sequence generation, thus bypassing the lack of locals-clearing and inevitable head-holding that occurs in ClojureScript.
