On a related note, I*would* like to have some way of getting the OS to decommit memory. Seehttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=855669 (start reading at about comment 22) for our discussion and attempt at this, which looks like it mysteriously trailed off this lastMarch. Theoretically, the above loop could also trigger a decommit, but I think it's too much to expect the engine to guess when that's going to be a good idea. On the other hand, from a spec POV it's unobservable behavior, which makes it weird.
ArrayBuffer.transfer (https://gist.github.com/andhow/95fb9e49996615764eff) is an ES7 stage 0 proposal, needs to move to stage 1 soon. It enables decommitting memory.
