When we parse a script off main thread we create a new ZoneGroup, Zone and JSComparment for the parse to happen in.  When it finishes all the GC things in the new compartment are merged back into the main heap.  The group, zone and compartment data structures are no longer required but are not cleaned up until the next GC.  Since we may build up a lot of these if we're parsing lots of scripts it may be better to just delete them immediately we're finished with them.
It's worse than I said above - we won't collect these until the next *full* GC, and we're trying to do fewer of those.  Since we iterate over all zones in a whole lot of places it would be better to clean these up ASAP.
