Comment #5 on issue 4392 by [email protected]: TurboFan/asm.js memory not immediately released
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=4392

This isn't compilation memory. It's V8 parser / scope analysis memory, which happens before any compiler gets to the code.

The main issue is the zone memory (i.e. C++ land) memory allocated by the parser and scope analysis for the module function. This ultimately turtles down to C++ new, which I think Blink has a hook to manage. It might be that Blink doesn't recycle this malloc'd and freed memory quite fast enough and that your experiments with waiting triggered a cleanup.

We probably need to ask an expert on Blink memory management, so I'll cc [email protected].

On the V8 side, we are working on reducing the memory used by the parser by parsing the nested functions in different zones.
