use of removeChild in IE leaking memory

[crobinson]

attached is a zip file with a small test you can run after patching and 2 screen shots, on of the sIEve results of reqular jQuery vs a modified version I made to test the theory. In the screen shots you can see that the memory reclaimed in the Delta's its on average higher in the modified version.

Take note that the tests will run 250 iterations before it will stop.

This is only an issue in IE.

Ok, haven't used sIEve more than once... shouldn't the #leaks column have a number that is diff than 0 if it'd have leaks ? I see that the regular takes less time.

Also... while doing some googling on the issue, I found this:

Can you try that with your demo and see if it solves the so called leak ?
