"leak", which honestly surprised me. We even explicitly unset the vars but that doesn't guarantee the GC kicks off for them near-time? 
    unset() != free(). The memory allocated is still freed during
    the request shutdown (where GC actually kicks in).
As a total aside, and being a paranoid C++ guy, I would love a "free" method that I could call that frees what I tell it to exactly when I tell it to... :-) 
    I think someone requested this before but it was shut down for
    some reason..can't remember what it was again.
