Thus, an offscreen page array contains a growing number of nodes which are then swapped back into the viewable area as needed (one page at a time.) I've tried calling window.CollectGarbage() after swapping DOM nodes to see if it would matter (it didn't) - so I suspect I may have to more actively delete objects. It would be nice to retain the off-screen objects (or at least, their states,) however - ie., not actively destroying the objects/data - because then I would have to re-fetch/create/initialize those objects depending on how much I destroyed. However, if this works around the problem for IE, maybe the "destroy-and-recreate" route is what I'll have to do until the cause of the slowdown is isolated. Loading...
