P.S. Here's a simple experiment, and I can't see any of these 
dark-matter objects that you talk about.

  def countobj
    count = 0
    ObjectSpace.each_object(Object) { count += 1 }
    count
  end

  def foo
    :dummy
  end

  puts "#{countobj} objects"
  GC.disable
  (1..1_000_000).each { foo }
  puts "#{countobj} objects"
