tracker issue : CF-3286878

Duplicate ID:	CF-3119991

Problem Description:

Created cfc's within one request will NOT be garbage collected even if the coldfusion variable holding it is set to empty string or set to a new cfc/value.
This is unacceptable for batch processing large amount of data using cfc's. This worked fine with coldfusion 8 (speed doesnt matter much for me, just that the code is maintainable, hence cfc's).

Steps to Reproduce:

This piece of code:
 
                <cfscript>
                for (j = 1 ; j LTE 500000 ; j = (j + 1))
                {
                        dummyc = createObject("component","Dummy");
                        dummyc.dummyf();
                }
                </cfscript>
 
that creates objects like this one:
 
<cfcomponent name="Dummy" output="false">
        <cffunction name="dummyf" access="public" output="false" hint="" returnType="void">
        </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Actual Result:

Will use about 2GB of memory

Expected Result:

While in coldfusion 8 and reportedly also in coldfusion 10, uses only about 600mb

Any Workarounds:

Tried a lot, but found nothing.
