How do I release editor memory?

Question

I am building a lot of asset bundles. By themselves the asset bundles are not too big. When I start Unity3D and build the bundle, it will work flawlessly. However when I build a lot of these bundles in sequence (without restarting Unity3D) the editor runs out of memory and crashes. I have called the following code after each BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundleExplicitAssetNames call:

 GC.Collect();
 Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets();

But this does not fix the problem...

You should probably try using EditorUtility.UnloadUnusedAssets in the editor. Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets is an operation to be yielded.

And I'd GC.Collect afterwards.

But be careful, I've just realized that EditorUtility.UnloadUnusedAssets can destroy temporary objects created by scripts.

That's a runtime call though.
