STR_1:
1. Open http://js1k.com/2014-dragons/demo/1906
2. Wait 1 minute

AR:  RAM consumption goes up to ~1.8 Gb and stays there
ER:  Ram consumption should stay on some sane level, like 200 MB (on GoogleChrome)

Indeed, I can confirm that RAM consumption goes up and stays there after a few minutes of watching the Demo. Tested using the latest Nightly 53.0a1 on Windows 7 x64 bit. After 4 minutes, memory usage raised from 2.8 GB to 4 GB and afterwards stayed around the value of 3-4 GB (the only apps opened were: Firefox with the demo tab and the task manager).
