Just to be crystal clear, zeroing values in that range will make the GC 
able to collect the memory that those values previously pointed at. 
However, you have to remove the range in order for the GC to ignore that 
data. In other words, if you zero that memory, the GC will continue to 
scan those zeros until you GC.removeRange it.
