Description
Currently we reuse the same PowerShell
object for every script invocation/prompt evaluation, but we aren't clearing the streams afterward. Example:
PS> $context = $psEditor.Components.Get([Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.PowerShellContext])
PS> $ps = $context.GetType().GetField('powerShell', 60).GetValue($context)
PS> $ps.Streams.Information
# <Empty>
PS> Write-Host 'first message'
PS> $ps.Streams.Information
# first message
PS> Write-Host 'second message'
PS> $ps.Streams.Information
# first message
# second message
Same for the other streams e.g. warning, verbose, debug, and progress (even though progress is not shown, the record is still stored until the end of the session)
Depending on how long the PSIC is left open and how much these streams are being written to, this could be the cause of some reported memory usage issues.
