Do you have a reference for Clojure's 'insane amounts of memory' use?

Our product (https://kpow.io) is written in vanilla Clojure/Clojurescript, it will quite happily run with a 64MB heap for smaller workloads.

64Mb for a non-trivial full-stack enterprise-grade application with authentication enabled providing a rich UI and multiple asynchronous and/or scheduled background processes that monitor and manage Kafka resources. Sure we don't recommend running multi-cluster production workloads on a 64MB heap, but requiring further memory for real workloads has nothing to do with Clojure and we're a long way from 'insane' memory use, or doing simple things.
