I can confirm that the JavaScript engine in IE is horribly slow
compared to any other browser. Reusing objects helps dramatically
because IE is also horrible at freeing memory. Even if you clear all
your objects out, IE may never release them. It is so bad, that not
even closing the page and reopening it helps. I have found the memory
usage to be so bad that the only way to reclaim it is to close the
browser and start over. And this has nothing to to with qooxdoo, it is
entirely an IE bug that can not be overcome with code. I have not done
drastic testing with IE8, I hope it is better then 6 & 7.
