GC.Collect runs in a different thread and it is not blocked by waiting on terminal. And calling Collect is not just a piece of advice, it starts collection. And yes, usually one does not call Collect unless it knows why (there are cases it makes sense), but setting reference to null doesn't hurt (but doesn't help probably). As per destructors, those are for freeing unmanaged resources only.
