[rules-users] Are retracted events garbage collected in stateful session?

I am inserting a high volume of relatively large objects into a long-running StatefulKnowledgeSession in Stream mode. I use a rule to start a jbpm process when each event is received, and the last step retracts the event. I assumed these were all being garbage collected until my app server started running out of memory. I ran a profiler and saw that none of my event objects were ever collected. Is there any way of freeing references without disposing the working memory? This is not a good option for our app. I have read this post http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Removing-facts-from-statefulknowledgeSe... Removing-facts-from-statefulknowledgeSession-s-memory and several others, but my objects are all manually retracted. I just need to make them available for garbage collection. I am running drools 5.2.0 Final, guvnor 5.2.0 Final, and jbpm 5.1.0 Final and I am using the BusinessRulesProcessor action in jboss to insert events.
