Garbage collection of Models (ST2)

[Zyphrax]

Our application is running day and night data is going in and out of application. Models are created based on data from the server and old models are updated or removed from stores.

We would expect that at some point the browser destroys the old models because no-one is referencing them. However we've noticed that when you create a model, a reference to it is automatically stored in the Ext.Model.cache. These objects will never be available for garabage collection and memory usage will continue to grow.

For now we have a small workaround, we remove the model from cache when stores are no longer using it:

unjoin: function () {
     this.callParent(arguments);
     if (!this.stores.length)
        this.destroy();
}
