I guess I was too quick to judge. I am using IE 5.5 with SP1 installed.
IE Memory Usage (Measured using Task
Manager)
Upon first load: 24,412KB
After 20 clicks: 24,484KB
After 40 clicks: 24,556KB
Then after I minimized IE, the memory footprint shrank to a little over
10,000KB. I guess IE does some kind of deferred garbage collection.
Sorry for the false alarm.
