I already had problems with memory deallocation with JavaScript.
In my situation, it was probably related to circular references with a
non-JavaScript object in the circular reference.
Then, JavaScript garbage collector doesn't work correctly.
You usually have to dereference yourself the objects when you don't need
them anymore (using null, delete, ..)
I don't remember how it is actually called, but I found some
documentation on the web some time ago

I'm worried that Jmol or Java is not properly dealing with memory

Java does not have any memory leakage problems.
Jmol might ... but only if you can reproduce it in the Jmol application.
Memory never gets returned to the OS. So, from the perspective of the OS
it is a one-way valve.
You need other tools to determine how much memory is available in the
Java
heap.
LiveConnect surely complicates things considerably.
Speculation ... If you reference Java objects from JavaScript then they
might never release that reference. That is, the LiveConnect *might*
hold
onto the reference as long as you are on a page (or forever) because it
might not be tied in with the JavaScript garbage collector and therefore
the easiest solution would be to make the references 'permanent'.
