I'm using 5.0, so gcinfo() would be the appropriate analog.

However, I was seeing these results in 'real-world' numbers (the  
amount of memory reported by Process Explorer's "private bytes"  
value) and our own internal memory tracking counters.

I'll run some more tests today with gcinfo() watching the Lua pool  
for a more accurate view of just the Lua world.
