I understand that 'garbage collection' is a process that runs in the wow client and TP only formats
the output on your panel. If you use the TP function, where is the 'garbage'? I'm having some issues
with fps and I want to be able to post what I'm seeing for support reasons.
Thanks in advance for any help you might have.

The "garbage" is memory (RAM) that was allocated by the wow client and that is not longer accessible by the wow client. Like placing your car keys in a drawer and forgetting which one it was. Drawer is occupied, but it's kind of useless.
The garbage collection process tries to find those "lost" memory areas and makes them available to applications like wow.
So, garbage collection means "deleting the content of a specific memory area and mark the area as 'free'". There are not "remains".
