I'm a bit more TDD inclined than the average Clojurian (having come over most recently from Ruby/Rails) and I have to say speed is king in TDD. I agree that source maps are life savers when you need to debug an issue in browser, but I don't really see how they'd be all that useful in the average TDD workflow.
So... +1 for whitespace and no source map == speed.
