memory leaks

Try to create and delete parser obj, and memory will leak

I can reproduce your problem but am not sure what to do. The culprit seems to be node invoking the v8 GC only after 2s of idle time. With manual usage of "node-gc" the script runs in constant space:

var sys = require('sys');
var expat = require('./build/default/expat');
var gc = require('gc');
var GC = new gc.GC();

function foo() {
    var p = new expat.Parser();
    setTimeout(foo, 1);
    sys.puts(sys.inspect(GC, true, 10));
    GC.collect();
}

foo();

I could also need help running node with valgrind. :-)

Аfter some code refactor parser started deleting. my fault, Thanks for your advice

Please test commit b362d93. I replaced expat's memory alloc functions and pass the size deltas to v8. This way, the GC gets invoked more often because it sees demand. I didn't observe performance regressions.
