[webkit-qt] memory leak on wave.google.com?

[Zoltan Horvath]

Hey,

I have a tip... During my measurements with custom allocators (blog: 
http://webkit.sed.hu/taxonomy/term/3), I experienced that running of js 
benchmarks (SunSpider, V8, WindScorpion) in JS workers caused that QtLauncher 
consumed extraordinary amount of memory... 
Wave is based on a lot of JavaScript and might use workers. Probably the 
memory increasing comes from this region. This needs further investigation.

Regards,

Zoltan
