How can I speed up my Clojure program which uses ":reload"?

I am developing a Clojure program and I use 

(:use modulename :reload)

: everywhere (in about 100 clj files). This is causing everything to get slower and slower all the time. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you get around it?

The solution is easy: don't use :reload in your ns forms. It's wrong a bazillion times out of ten: reload is intended for REPL use, not for namespace declarations. How on earth can namespace foo know that namespace bar is loaded already and needs to reload in order for foo to work properly? If your setup is really so labyrinthine that this makes sense, you probably have bigger problems than your startup time.
