the powershell.exe process is grow

Hi,
When I list all my users (thousands) I see the powershell.exe process
(Memory) is grow.
I'm understand that now all the users and they attributed is in the
RAM, it's should be so and it's OK.

Now, which cmd-let will clean the RAM, and reduce the process back to
normal size ?

Thanks
Didi

How about serialize the data to disk, work offline, quit and restart
PowerShell?
