Thank you Steve.
What about the points from which the mesh is made (a regular python lists with
Point3d objects in it).
Should I use the "del" statement to delete them, and then call gc.collect()
afterwards?:
import gcdel meshPts # meshPts is a python list containing Point3d objects
from which the "largeMesh" is madegc.collect()
largeMesh.Dispose()
?
Thank you.

In this case, the class that you are referring to is IDisposable. Call the
Dispose function on the Mesh instance when you are done with it.

I am a creating a huge mesh object (some 900 megabytes in size) in Rhino3d

I did a bit of search on stackoverflow.com, and I found out that "del"
statement will only delete the reference to mentioned mesh. Not the mesh object
itself.
And that after some time, the mesh object will eventually get garbage
collected. At least this is what some users on stackoverflow say about the
regular cpython.
Is "gc.collect()" the only way by which I could instantly release the memory,
and there for somehow remove the mentioned large mesh from the memory?
I've also found replies on stackoverflow.com which state that "gc.collect()"
should be avoided (at least when it comes to regular python, not specifically
ironpython).
I've also find comments on stackoverflow which claim that in IronPython it is
not even guaranteed the memory will be released if nothing else is holding a
reference.
Any comments on all these issues?
Is it even possible to instantly free the memory from the deleted large object
in ironpython (2.7)?
Thank you for the reply.
Kind regards,
