Hello,
I have got problem with memory leak on the Linux in Chromium. I'm not sure about other browsers(without tasks manager is not as easy as in Chr.). I have a block with slideshow view. The block is reloaded every 10s with 3 teaser of article node. Part of the teaser is image too. I have about 10 article for testing . Task manager of Chr shows increas of memory consuption about 200kb each 10s. Chromium uses all RAM and than crash. So, do anybody have similar experiences? How can I figure out where is the problem? I don't think that this behaviour is correct.

Thanks

I am having the same issue with Chrome 23 Dev on Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. I have not had Chrome crash as a result but must restart Chrome after a while of viewing my site as the memory commit size for just one chrome.exe goes past 1 GB.

I have not noticed such a leak using the latest Firefox/Nightly.

I have five slides, just an image each, with a five-second interval.

Thanks for posting this, though I have no solution either. I had guessed it was just the Drupal admin overlay.

Likely due to the fact that Views Slideshow wouldn't be aware you were removing it and recreating it every 10 seconds. Best thing would be that on your code that is doing that, clear the existing sliders.
