Crudely put, JVM won't release the memory to OS. For correct behaviour of JRuby you will have to run it against one of the java profilers and look for heap size (should decrease). BTW, same issue plagues Queue class as well (albeit a bit more severely than Array) ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/649 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
