Sure, any reliable repro case you can construct would be immensely useful.

The uberhumor page seems to exhibit the same growth in other browsers too. Based on that I think it's an issue with the content on the site behaving badly, not a browser bug.

Glad to hear the tech preview is at least doing a bit better, there are a number of memory fixes in there. Hopefully we can find something to do about this issue too.
