title: jvm garbage collection too infrequent - clojure
body: <p>I'm developing a clojure application and it seemed to be using a lot more memory than it should. I thought it was a memory leak but after looking at it with jvisualvm it seems like the GC just isn't running often enough. The red outlines are where I manually invoked the GC. Why is it allocating 300mb when it seems to be using around 30mb?</p>
