Garbage Collection

(collect-garbage) forces an immediate garbage collection. Since MzScheme uses a ``conservative'' garbage collector, some effectively unreachable data may remain uncollected (because the collector cannot prove that it is unreachable). This procedure provides some control over the timing of collections, but garbage will obviously be collected even if this procedure is never called.

(dump-memory-stats) dumps information about memory usage to the (low-level) standard output port.
