I think the site load time is an allegory for how long it takes for the JVM to start up.
There are some good links in this blog. If you are a Clojure newbie, definitely check out the text-only cache of this blog.
I also want to note that "Clojure newbie" has many meanings, depending on which direction you approach Clojure from. Depending on whether you come from Java, LISP, Python or nothing, you will start with different tracks. I would recommend that Java programmers actually start with protocols and reify, typically billed as advanced subjects, then the concurrency primitives, before getting into macros and advanced LISP stuff.
