Hmmm. I did some additional experiments using the JRockit JVM on
Windows XP, and JRockit not only has equivalent memory usage for
Clojure 1.2 and 1.3 alpha1, but it can also run these programs with
significantly less memory than HotSpot. HotSpot is similar, but not
identical, in its memor
While updating the benchmark programs I wrote for the shootout web
site for 1.3 alpha1, I came across a program that required much more
memory to complete in 1.3 than it did in 1.2. I boiled it down to a
simpler program that has similar properties.
