It seems to be something about the jdbc/transaction macro. If I rewrite 
load_exp so it does nothing but walk the seq, it still consumes the heap:

(defn load-exp [file timestamp filehash matrix]
  (jdbc/transaction
    (dorun (map identity matrix))))


If I remove the jdbc/transaction call, it's fine.

(defn load-exp [file timestamp filehash matrix]
  (dorun (map identity matrix)))
