[vwnc] What's the "best" garbage collection?

I see several garbage collection methods.
Which one will result in the "cleanest" image, where
as much as possible is gc-ed?

Thanks,
s.

In terms of maximizing the amount of garbage collected, the two methods
to use are

ObjectMemory globalGarbageCollect

and

ObjectMemory globalCompactingGC

How long after last reference disappearing?
Usually the problem is not in garbage collector keeping some object, but
in remaining references.

Ideally, immediately. This is intended as final cleanup step after
automatically setting up an image, be it for development or deployment.
