But I call storage.Commit() after each batch of rows for the very purpose of
flushing the new rows from memory to disk.
How else can I tell Metakit to free up the space for these rows after
writing them to disk?

No, I don't want to overwrite anything. I expect the data file to grow, and
because of MMF, I also expect the size of allocated *virtual memory* to
grow. But I don't want the *physical* RAM usage to grow endlessly.
