Size of function and memory management

[Mickael Remond]

Hello,

I have a question regarding memory management: What is the impact of the 
size of function on memory management and consumtion ?
What is the impact of very big function (I mean printed page long or 
more) on Erlang memory consumtion ?

How does the garbage collector react to that ?
Is the end a execution of a function a way to trigger some memory house 
keeping that would not be triggered otherwise ?

Thank you in advance for your feedback :-)
