Vasu, Those structures get cleaned up as nodes are created when you walk the DOM. Anything remaining in the arrays are for nodes which haven't been built yet but might be in the future. Every node has a pointer back to its owner Document, so if you want this object to be garbage collected you need to drop all of your references to the nodes in the tree.
