Hi Ron, I've profiled a 20k line Clojure application and have never seen anything like what you seem to be suggesting. It seems (though you've not been very clear) that you suspect that persistent collections may be holding references to nodes longer than necessary. That is, longer than a mutable collection would. My reading of the implementation suggests that this is not the case. Do you have any specific evidence or is this just a hunch? Any 'modifications' to a persistent collection return a new collection which may or may not share structure with the previous one. If you don't hold a reference to the previous version the collection and the unshared nodes become eligible for garbage collection. Am I missing something here?
