Subject: Re: Deleting objects?

If you keep a reference to an object -- no way you can dispose it. On
the other hand, even when there's no references, Ruby will dispose an
object on its own will (and need). You can try calling GC.start, however
it is not guraranteed that unreferenced objects will be disposed
immediatelly (it always worked for me, though).
