Haha! No - it's not *guaranteed*. v8 might or might not call the GC.
See this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users/browse_thread/thread/c2655be2958b34da/8891aadf8a4c643f?lnk=gst&q=beal+decision#8891aadf8a4c643f

for more discussion/ranting about that. In short, if you need a
*guaranty* (i do) then you've got to add your own supplemental GC on
top of v8's.
