[dba-Tech] Internet Explorer memory usage

Two of them are facebook, one is the radio times online tv guide, and two
were sites I was looking at to find hints for a best mans speech. I've
noticed that if I close IE, and reopen the pages it's not using anywhere
near as much, like it doesn't empty it's cache until you close it,
regardless of whether you close the tab or not. Seems a bit odd to me
though.

It seems some URL's cause vastly more resource to be utilised than others.
What are the particular URL's, if you do not mind?
Kind regards

Something is very wrong there... I just checked and I have 7 tabs open, two
of which contain large .pfd files and I'm running just at 51 megs...

OK, enough is enough... I thought I was seeing things when I noticed that
IE7 was using over 500mb of RAM last week, tonight it's using 1gb. I've only
got 4 tabs open, and it's not like I'm running complex weather calculations
in java programs or anything... Why is it doing this?
 
I have 2gb of RAM, but when IE is using more than half of it, it starts to
get a bit slow. I don't think it's anything bad, because I only reinstalled
Windows at Easter, and I put on fully updated version of a firewall,
antivirus and antispyware before I let it loose on the internet. I even ran
it with al lthe addons disabled, and it still eats memory. I was thinking of
getting more memory for the PC anyway, but that was for performance in
games, not for IE!
 
Something isn't right here...
