Memory leak using ngOnChanges hook

Question

I am facing an issue with a memory leak when using the ngOnChanges hook to access the changes to an input property in my child component. I am sending a large amount of data (an array with 27000 items) from my parent component and the data within the array is changing at a frequency of at least 30hz. I think that the garbage collector is not removing the references of the previousValue in the changes: SimpleChanges object at the same frequency as mentioned above. Is there a manual way I can dispose of the data from the object or is there a more efficient way of accessing the changes on the input property other than the hook? Please correct me if that is not the root cause of the memory leak? I can share my code if required.
