Try this article as a starting point in understanding IE memory leaks. Internet Explorer is far worse than other browsers in memory managment.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250448.aspx If your application uses "pure" GWT you will be somewhat protected from leaks, but perhaps you have some native methods that employ function closures (by far the easiest way to incur major leaks).
