Closure Pinning Memory Leak

closure_leak.js

// Component Definition
function Component(name) {
    this.pageName = name;
}


// Lets decorate the Component instances with 
// a method that can do some work
Component.prototype.onLoaded = function() {
    // do some fancy work
}

// On Component.attach, lets subscribe to the 
// DOM's loaded event and do something on our
// self closure context
Component.prototype.attach = function() {
    var self = this;
    $(document).load(function() {
        self.onLoaded();
    });
}


// Test Case: Create a ton of Components
for (var i = 0; i <= 4; i++) {
    var newComponent = new Component('my page');
    newComponent.attach();
    delete newComponent;
    newComponent = null;
