A system freeze is probably due to thrashing by your operating system as a process (in this case Python) uses more and more memory, causing massive swapping. Clojure's heap, being a JVM-based language, is based on JVM settings, so it may be maxing out at just a couple of GB. Whereas Python will happily max out your swap if your program demands the memory. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
