Luminus isn't doing anything bad here, and 180MB is actually pretty small for a clojure heap.
I hit the limits of my laptop's 8GB of memory recently while running a number of repls simultaneously, with heaps over 700MB*4 or so. The simplest win for me was to enable the G1 collector by default (will be default eventually) in all my java processes via the flag: '-XX:+UseG1GC'. The g1 collector is much more aggressive with freeing unused memory back to the OS than the default collector, which will be relevant to you if that's why your heap bigger than expected. If you're curious about the actual memory profile of your app, jvisualvm is a handy and free tool that's distributed with an oracle JDK or available as a separate download.
