I've been using Chrome's Timeline view to attempt to track down some memory leaks in my page. I've found one particular memory leak that results from instantiating web workers that I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of.I've stripped down the page to just load the web worker and do nothing else. Every time I refresh the page, the Document Count on Chrome's timeline view permanently increases by 1. If I comment out the call to the Worker constructor, and begin refreshing the page, the document count increases and then decreases, effectively staying the same. Here is my entire .htm file:\[code\]<html><script type="text/javascript">var worker_blob = new Blob(["var test = 1;"]);var worker_url = window.URL.createObjectURL(worker_blob);// Comment out the line below and the memory leak goes awayvar worker = new Worker(worker_url);window.URL.revokeObjectURL(worker_url);</script></html>\[/code\]
Web Worker Memory Leak?
