The GC maps memory from the underlying OS in pool sized chunks.
The smallest pool is already 4MB, so the GC doesn't trigger 
before that pool is completely used, and it also can't free the 
pools until it no longer contains live data.

If you want to run a collection, you need to call GC.collect, 
GC.minimize unmaps Pools.

If you're running on 32-bit (the default on Windows) that loop 
might pin memory because of false pointers.

Out of interest, do you intend to work on some ML library. There 
exists a few math libraries, particularly estate and SciD, but 
we're lacking a nice ML package.
