There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sooo... I think this already goes into way more detail than would be useful for users, and this is very implementation-detail-y (users won't care where the memory for an ArrayBuffer lives if they aren't writing addons, and V8 might change that at any time as well). Just saying "gc() is not a production utility and should not be considered a reliable way of reclaiming memory" (which we already do, I think) and maybe adding that some effects garbage collection are only visible asynchronously would already do it, tbh.

Previously, the code path would allocated a tracked ArrayBuffer that defers cleanup and deallocation of the underlying data with a SetImmediate. Avoid the unnecessary deferral by just allocating a `BackingStore` directly and writing into it. Fixes: nodejs#38300 Refs: nodejs#38336

@addaleax ... I know this only tells part of the story here (and may not describe it too well) but I don't know how much detail is going to be useful...
