You may start garbage collection manually in Ruby by calling GC.start,
however on a production server it may be a good idea to restart your
server every so often (there are things that the garbage collector
does not collect, like symbols for instance).  Deployment products
like Passenger have methods for automatically restarting a server
process after a certain amount of time or number of requests, you may
want to look into that.
