Sounds like we're not clearing up the queue later on? Either way, sounds bad.

As far as the RegExp objects go, in 1.7 I've already changed .trigger() to avoid creating them if there are no namespaces. The jQuery Tools code is very trigger-happy. Sounds like that wasn't the main problem though.

I left the test case running in a tab in Firefox 6.0.2 for an hour while I monitored about:memory and didn't see any signs of leakage. I tried both tab-visible and tab-hidden during that time. Although memory use would spike to as high as 350MB, it would always settle back down to 179MB or so within a minute. This problem must have been fixed (intentionally or incidentally) on the Firefox side.
