Thank you psranga for being the only one in here to make a technical comment.

Leak profiling in JS is a pain. I wasn't really expecting Google to provide an answer here because all their apps contribute to wasted heap space too.

Google's answer (as far as I can tell) is just to push it back to the browser. In their case, use Chrome, which uses a separate process for each page.

Chasing JS leaks has to be one of the most frustrating exercises ever. I ended up using a windows tool for analyzing jscript.dll and cross-referencing this with a custom spidermonkey build (with lots of print statements in the source).

Anything less than insight to this problem I'm going to take with a grain of salt.
