Thanks Ben. Glad to know you will not have to throttle Firefox. If you have to shackle Internet Explorer, fine with me. I rarely use it except for compatability testing. You cannot prevent the "mousemove" event from occurring but you can absorb it in the API without passing it to the application. I do not see how it influences garbage collection. Passing the event to the application ought to be a simple function call. Perhaps the LatLng object is causing the memory consumption not the event itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
