I had read this previously, and pretty much don't use intervals or
have animated gifs on display when hidden.

Nelson made a good point in suggesting onHide to destroy the xmlhtpp
request object which I am going to investigate

I wrote about some possible causes of leakage for O'Reilly a while ago:

I had planned a followup article that gave some of the particulars as
to what actually resides in memory on a widget, why the same widgets
have different footprints on different systems, and why basic "Hello
World" widgets sometimes take more memory than widgets that actually
present an interface and functionality. Unfortunately I only got
silence from Apple on the subject, and I'm not smart enough to figure
these things out on my own with Object Meter.

So, hope it's of some use, but don't hold your breath for the sequel.

Cheers!
