Hello all! I'm new to this forum. My name Is Jason Basanese and I am a 
relatively new clojurist.

I recently began hosting my first small full stack Clojure web app. While 
doing this I ran into memory problems with my admittedly small load server. 
The maximum it can take in temp memory is 741MB. Too much of that memory is 
consumed giving an error when I try to run two REPLs on the server. One for 
testing and editing code and the other for leaving the app running. My 
other dynamic content websites which use php directly with Apache use 
minimal memory. Why is it that running a Clojure app like such "lein run -m 
clojureweb.core/serve" takes up so much memory? Here is the code of the 
function I am running with that command. 

(defn serve [& args]
  (org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator/configure)
  (run-server
   (logger/wrap-with-logger
    (reload/wrap-reload app))
   {:port 8080}))

Are the logger or the wrap-reload making it take up so much memory? Is 
there a better way to run Clojure apps that is less robust? Or is using a 
relatively large amount of memory just a bullet to bite when using Clojure? 
Yes I know an obvious solution would just be to upgrade the server, but 
where's the fun in that?

Requests for more detail, comments, answers and opinions all welcome!
