Well in my case i am purely using javascript to animate the svg i.e changing color, dimensions etc. using dom, there are other complex animations as well. Yes it is computationally intensive page. I have tuned my javascript so that there are no memory leaks (there are many memory leaks in IE). The RAM on that machine is 2 GB. IE 's total used memory is well under 400 MB at any time. The problem only occurrs on these dual core machines (tested on 3 different machines). On other machines the application kept on running smoothly over a period of many days.

I have developed an application in svg in which I am using javascript to manipulate the svg. The javascript is running in internet explorer 6.0 scripting engine. After running for about 12+ hours the IE becomes irresponsive. [...] Has anyone encountered any such problem, is there a problem with svg viewer OR IE on dual core machines. I have seen similar problems with some IE(6 or 7)/ASV3.03, where a computationally intensive page (as I assume yours must be if you are running it for 12 hours) will flake apart in time. Here is a thing that combines SMIL with JavaScript animation with some asynchronous stuff (lots of image loads) and lots of RAM allocation that will cause IE to completely crash in a matter of minutes with a "Pure Virtual Function" call. Don't know if it is related to what you've seen or not, but I think it's pretty amazing that it crashes the browser altogether. Opera 9 seems okay with it, though I believe I should have cloned rather than created the <animate> tags -- I seem to recall something funky about Opera's handling of dynamically created <animate>'s. Some benchmark comparisons I had prepared for SVGOpen 2006 showed that similar things were about 3 to 5 times slower in Opera 8 than in IE. Both IE and Opera give precedence to SMIL over JavaScript animation, and if one overpacks the amount of SMIL to be done, the JavaScript will just turn off.
