First of all, thanks for the help you've been providing; it's really
gotten me thinking deeply about the matter of persistence and eficiency.

When in ghost state, when the object lacks state, does this mean all
instance information is persisted, and thus, memory for it freed? This
would explain perfectly the fact that references don't change while memory
usage goes down.

Take care,
