IE 6 process size keeps growing

[Guest dougfish]

I have a web app that causes IE 6 use a lot of memory over time. I'm trying

to isolate what part of my web app is causing the leaking, so I've been

working on creating small HTML pages that represent certain aspects of my app

and seeing if they cause the IE process size to grow.

 

The problem is that I have created a trivial page --- a page with a a body,

text inside the body (about 25k of plain text for what that's worth) and

that's all. When I do refresh on this page repeatedly and observe Windows

Task Manager I see the Mem Usage grow from 55793K to 128588K over about a

half hour.

 

I have used windows update to make sure IE6 has the current fixes.

 

Is this normal IE 6 behavior? Shouldn't I see the mem usage level off or go

down at some point? Maybe IE is continuing to use more memory since there is

plenty available on the PC? Is there a better approach for figuring out

why/how my app is leaking?

Download and install IE7. Why fret over outdated software?
