Created an attachment (id=32392)
 --> (https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=32392)
test file to reproduce the memory issue in webkit

When making ajax requests, there seems to be an issue in clearing out memory
once the request is complete. I've attached some sample code to reproduce the
problem. When using other browsers and our same sample code, we don't see the
constant ramp up in memory usage. 

To Reproduce:

- Download the attached sample code and drop into any webserver.
- Enter the url for the textAjax.html file in the Webkit browser or app using
webkit.
- Using top from a shell, you will constantly see memory ramp up and not be
released (rprvt and rsize)
