Steps to reproduce: 1) Go to www.datalex.com 2) Browse the site e.g. click on "site map and search" in the upper left hand corner 3) The browser (and WinNT) will slow to a crawl and memeory usage as measured in task manager will almost quadruple This bug is always reproducible. I'm using build 2001082203 on WinNT On an unrelated note, load datalex.com up on IE or something and read paragraph 4 on the page http://www.datalex.com/news/mar2601.asp (beginning "datalex's new corporate brand") for some of the most hilarious marketing doublespeak I've ever read.
I can affirm that memory usage is exponential on the site, but I can't seem to figure out exactly which part of the page slows down. My guess would be that the Flash movies are slowly killing the page.
can you try without the flash plugin and see if it still happens? If yes, this is a plugin issue...
I do not have the Flash plugin installed, and I didn't see "enourmouse rise" in memory usage (Task Manager says that Mozilla went from 100 MB memory usage to 112 MB memory usage, FWIW). So, -> Plugins.

Using Build 2001083103 on Win2k, loading datalex.com and then browsing with 1 window increased memory from 66MB to 102MB. Going from http://www.datalex.com/ to http://www.datalex.com/sitemap.asp suddenly increase from 78 to 102MB. Plus mouse is choppy, perhaps a lot of DHTML.

the memory usage is approximately the same within IE, the flash plug-in renders the first time, if you reload an image replaces the flash plug-in (fyi)
