Anyone seeing a memory leak in Safari - it's just growing and growing?

When first launched, Safari is using about 20MB real, 145 MB virtual, here - according to Activity Monitor. Open and close pages, and the sizes just go up, never back down. Tried pulling SafariBlock and ClickToFlash, but that didn't make a diff. Right now, after opening only 8 tabs, Safari is up to 2.02 GB virtual!

So while Sam and Dean have been up to their eyes in demons, whores, and grumpy angels, Apple got back to me about the leak -- not their problem go talk to the webkit guys. Nice. Developers telling an end-user to follow thru with bugs on THEIR products. Well, the webkit guys seem to already know about the issues.

Check out today's WebKit Nightly. It seems to be much faster than the shipped webkit (as usual) plus much of the memory leak is under control. It still grows, but at a much slower rate. Only been using it for a few hours; YMMV...
