Shouldn't be necessary.  Ive run a few test pages (without explicit 
cleanup) in tight loops and the memory footprint is stable.

A good way to get a nice tight loop is to add a Response.Redirect() at 
the end of your page, to another page which itself Response.Redirect's 
back to the first.  ASP then happily runs around madly reloading your 
page as fast as possible until you hit "stop".

If you can demonstrate another leak like this, let me know.
