Javascript Performance Leaks and IE?

[sulinbear]

I'm trying to make an AJAX site that makes heavy use of objects (maybe
my first mistake =( ...). I've come across a bizarre bug when using IE
6. At first I thought it was some sort of memory leak... but I
diagnosed with drip [and it came up clean]. Also, it doesn't seem to
be related to IE caching (since even with my IE6 caching turned off).
An example of it is below:

To replicate the bug, go to the site, press refresh (or F5) multiple
times. At each refresh, it appears that the objects take longer to
create!... For test 1 through 3, the times stay generally consistent.
However, for test, 4 and 5, each refresh adds about 10-20 ms!
Strangely (or expectedly), it doesn't cause problems in any version of
Firefox or IE7. I'd ignore the problem, but it appears ~30% of users
are still using IE6 [and it would be a fallacy to ignore them]. Any
help would be greatly appreciated... as its driving me crazy!
