Thanks again for the reply Erik. When you said "unless the VM really is idle of course", does this mean when we're not invoking any V8 calls (or running any script in V8), or is it a generally bad practice to use the IdleNotification call? I gathered from some other posts that this is a way to free allocated memory within the VM.
