I have a couple of html pages that contain huge amounts of hidden inputs, about 500 kb of html. This worked reasonably fine until recently. But after upgrading to tacos 4 with dojo 0.3.1, it takes Internet Explorer 6 about 1 minute to load the page, with tacos 4 beta 2 it took about 5 seconds. In Firefox it still loads fine, in about 5 seconds.
The symptoms are: IE stays at 25% CPU usage during the entire page load of 60-90 seconds, and the memory usage goes crazy, increasing from 40 MB to 80 MB. The memory is released after the page has finished loading, I think. Possibly after the browser window is closed. I'll find out if anyone is wondering. This is probably more relevant on the dojo mailing list, as I guess it is dojo related, but I'm not subscribing to that one, so I was hoping that anyone here had any suggestions other than rolling back to the previous tacos beta distro?
