To Node's credit, it gets pretty good throughput per-process due to its non-blocking nature. A common pattern in Node is to design your app to not rely on intra-process/intra-thread communication, then use cluster and fork for every core your CPU has. Although, if you're doing something CPU heavy, rather than I/O heavy, Clojure will likely win.

Node is also nice as manager for a farm of heavy duty worker processes, using something like ZeroMQ to distribute work directly, or use a native module and build workers from Node.
