How to "dispose" an EntityManager

We've taken the approach of creating a new EntityManager each time we load an view for editing a record (to support a unit-of-work pattern).

Is there anything special we need to do to allow the EntityManager to be garbage collected? I believe we are releasing all references to the manager but Chrome's "Take Heap Snapshot" tool doesn't show the EntityManager (or any entities) being deleted when we leave our view.

I see that each entity's entityAspect.entityManager holds a reference to the manager. Does that prevent everything from getting garbage collected?

It appears that calling entityManager.clear() is required to detach all entities from the manager which then allows everything to get garbage collected.
