I ran some tests this morning comparing FSharpMap
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee353686.aspx) to the
Clojure-CLR PersistentHashMap. Both are immutable maps with more or
less the same features. My benchmark inserted 50000 items into the
map, retrieved them and then removed them one by one. I was shocked to
find that while the FSharp map took around 0.21 sec to execute, the
PersistentHashMap took 0.31sec. I found this to be very consistent
from run to run.

Any ideas why this is the case?
