Where does the memory go?

Hi all,

I have been using custom properties and custom properties sets to  
store results from different data analysis.  This requires me to  
delete the properties of the last run before proceeding with the next  
run.  There are many many automatically generated properties in the  
sets.  I started to wonder what happens to the memory when I delete a  
key.  The properties can no longer be seen because the key is gone,  
but what about the memory space.  Does Rev garbage collect the space  
to recover it?  I am concerned that I will create this huge legacy of  
garbage memory structures that will continue to grow as my program is  
run and saved over many months.

Can anyone verify that the program memory space will be recovered?

Dennis
