Can't get Multithreaded Nashorn uses to Scale

Looks like the memory leak is due to the way we wrote our code and how
javascript works. I was expecting the line  *response[**summoner.id
<http://summoner.id>**] = summoner; *to build a map but it turns out that
if you use a number as the "key", javscript automatically fills the indexes
in the middle with null (Undefined type?). When these IDs are very large,
it is creating huge arrays that take longer to garbage collect than the
code executing. I am about to start testing this on our end to make sure we
see the improvements we expect.

Does this idea seem like it is reasonably possible?
