Correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't that the purpose of the adapter implementations to also hold the different dialect and/or datastore specific optimizations?

[edit] OT to this thread: didn't clojure-dbm have some similar ideas to Clojurize? I remember forking it from your github repository early last year some time and doing some cool stuff with it.

All of the implementations you mention sacrifice specific functionality in order to support a general interface. For instance, clojure-dbm was an interface to key/value stores, so it supported a small subset of common functionality: fetch, put and delete. It didn't support functions that are specific to a certain type of database, such as setnx in Redis.
