CoA maintainer here. Skummet works, it allowed Clarity to go from >10 seconds to 2-3 seconds startup without much effort.
Even without Skummet, startup time is reasonable for applications which don't have many dependencies, and that you don't start/restart often. E.g. 4Clojure takes around 4-5 seconds to load which is fine considering you launch it every once in a while.
Yes, you should :) I basically abandoned this project and am still too uneasy/guilty to accept that. I think that by now lein-droid hopelessly lags behind the current Android ecosystem.
The main problem with Clojure on Android was not as much the performance, but the lack of community interest. People are more interested in cross-platform solutions nowadays whereas Clojure is inherently Android-only. Performance-wise, it is OK for some projects, e.g. you can check my 4Clojure app which is fully written in Clojure: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bytopia.foreclojure&hl=en
