Like any other object in the JVM... when the last reference to the Lift
Actor is gone, the Lift Actor is garbage collected. Lift Actors (like JVM
objects) don't have a concept of "running". They will always respond to
messages sent to them. They consume no system resources other than memory
except when they are processing a message, then they will consume a thread
out of the thread pool.
