I see, so running (permGen) 10 times from the REPL is not the same as,
say, (dotimes [_ 10] (permGen)), because there's an understood (eval)
around anything executed directly in the REPL.
Thanks.

When the reader has a top-level expression in the REPL, it gets
evaluated. Evaluation goes through the Compiler which generates
bytecode from your forms. Before the bytecode can be executed, it
needs to be loaded into the JVM, and that happens by wrapping it in a
class and loading that.

I believe you, but I don't understand why. I'm doing nothing but
evaluate my test function over and over. Since no new functions are
being defined, why would this evaluation use any PermGen?

Clojure creates class not for every function call, but for every
function definition.
The PermGen growth you see is the REPL compiling your input, most likely.
