I am getting an "out of memory" error when handling large amounts of data.

If you are getting an "out of memory" error when handling large amounts of data in a WCJS function, it could be because memory reclaiming in the latest core JavaScript 1.5RC1 source, which we use, is not as robust as it was in previous versions.

The solution is to use the memoryReclaim() function in your loops.

What we usually do is set a counter and only call this occasionally, since the reclaim does take a while to run. For example, the following would only call memoryReclaim once out of each 10 times through the loop:

   var reclaim = 10;
   for( ... ){
     ...
     if( --reclaim == 0 ){
       memoryReclaim();
       reclaim = 10;
     }
   }
