I will have a look as well. @yogthos call to your experience, what is just about average result? I suspect that in my case it may be my environment, but I will check again.
so last I looked at this was when I added luminus here https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r19&hw=ph&test=fortune&l=zik0zf-1r
but this one is pretty stripped down https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/master/frameworks/Clojure/luminus
but yeah I can help take a look as well, would be good to see what's causing the slowdown
