2.8.1.5 CollectGarbage

When the CollectGarbage function is called, the Internet Explorer ECMAScript implementation may attempt to reclaim unused or unneeded resources that are associated with the currently running application. Whether or not any action is actually taken depends on the current state of the execution environment and the resource management strategies and heuristics used by the implementation. An application may call this function to request that any such pending reclamation activities be completed immediately. However, an Internet Explorer ECMAScript implementation is not required to honor such a request.
