I found that minimising my browser (IE5) window caused a garbage collect to
happen, when i maximised it again, it had freed about half the memory it was
using previously. Make's it kind of difficult to work out what the hell is
going on... I haven't seen any JS debuggers that give information on what
memory is being used either.

Thanks for the code, I might try some of these ideas as I probably need the
DynAPIX before it's finished (unless Jordi doesn't sleep this weekend :)
