I use a foreach with parallel where I download and process webpages.
Needles to say, this can consume a lot of memory at peak times. I've
noticed the D garbage collector doesn't return the memory when it
isn't needed anymore. Is there any clever way to limit that usage?
Currently it consumes 1 gig but I'm afraid it'll get even higher...
As I understand it, the GC _never_ returns memory to the OS once it has
it.
Certainly that used to be the case, so unless that's been changed, it's
still
the case.

I think this was fixed some time ago, and seem to remember testing it with
success on windows.

I might be wrong of course :)
