This is a mystery area. Go back and find all of the references to an object and remove them before the object is eligible for disposal? That's a lot of work. In .Net, the GC constantly spins around looking for memory to clear. The objects are either automatically marked for disposal, when they go out of scope, or are manually marked for disposal. This goes for connections as well. I'm sure many of us are wondering how to limit CPU usage.
