have profiled Twitter memory usage a bit. it starts near 50mb on a fresh page load and creeps up at the rate of 10-15mb per minute forever until you refresh the page. the memory leaks are a design feature I think. maybe they get to serve new ads when you refresh?

honestly this conspiratorial mindset seems like the only sensible explanation that 10% of the time the tweet input will get so slow, presumably from memory leaks, that I'll have to refresh the page
