      Garbage collection in Javascript is supposed to be transparent, ie. it is a feature of the language and the (non-standard) gc() function should never need to be called under ordinary circumstances.

      However, under certain circumstances/workloads, the JS interpreter does not GC often (or aggressively) enough, which can cause memory exhaustion problems.

      The workaround is to force garbage collection by calling gc() frequently.
