If you reuse the objects there would be no additional objects cluttering 
memory.

If the issue is the prop data, why not just clear the custom props when 
re-using the objects?

In my limited testing it seems the engine maintains a single record of 
the last ID used, incremented when an object is created.

Since a standalone doesn't save, then you'd be safe to the degree a user 
would never make more than 64000 objects in a given session (see Dick's 
post about my mistake on altIDs -- only built-in IDs have a range of 2 
billion; altIDs are limited to 65535).
