Interesting. Yahoo uses the YUI library.
I see that I have the same problem in Chrome as well.

All browsers are guilty of memory leaks when left open over periods of time, it's something I came across when I was a performance tester.

That depends on how much porn you load in "Incognito-mode".
Browsers nowadays use an instance per tab, that makes them more aggressive on the RAM, but also more stable if some plugin crashes or so.
EDIT: Due to spelling.

Don't forget IE8 and later spawn at least one process per tab as well. I don't know how much code gets shared between the tabs but I bet it's not that high....

That can be adjusted. I had a problem with an XP machine where IE8 always froze after some time when browsing using many windows and/or tabs, particularly with sites with many large images. It showed up that something (no idea what) had set it into single process mode (all windows and tabs runs in the same process), by adding the value
TabProcGrowth = 0
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Saved a lot of memory actually, but the sideeffect was that it would freeze whenever memory use exceeded a certain amount, usually a little above 1 GB, even if there still was more than 1 GB free RAM left (4 GB in total on system).
After setting TabProcGrowth = 18 it now runs in op to 18 processes (less will probably do, but haven't had time to experiment with it) and it hasn't frozen so far no matter how many tabs/windows I've opened, not even when being close to having used up all available memory. But if does indeed use a lot more memory this way per window/tab.

You've got a hardware problem, probably some bad memory, or just a memory card that needs to be reseated.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

It's not as if other browsers aren't guilty of the same thing. I'm on Chrome right now with 6 tabs open, which is pretty low for me. Can get to 20+ easily by the time I get through the new posts on Google Reader.
Open up Task Manager and...16 processes running! Adding up the total, and...about 344MB.
I just opened up IE9, and 6 tabs later...hmmm...198MB.
Firefox, with only ONE tab open...201MB!
So, it's certainly not just IE.
Then there is Visual Studio...592MB process with just one instance running. Ouch!
The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke!
My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

I've been finding Win7 really wants to live in 8 GB of RAM. I made the argument that I was not the typical manager that needed the biggest and latest machine on the block just to check my e-mail. To my surprise they built me a machine that was i7 with 16 GB of RAM. I have just as big (if not larger) list of programs running at once and memory usage hovers at 8.38 GB. My AMD Phenom quadcore with 4 GB at home always seems to be wheezing. I plan to get another 4 GB to cure it, but it uses DDR2

I have similar problems and I don't use IE. Windows 7 is a piece of crap. My H/W config. is also 4GB of memory on an AMD 64bit Quad. I have had it less than 6 months. So far, I had to run "repair" twice, put up with a number of BSODs (both "blue" and "black"), freezes, etc. I also use VirtualBox on occasion and when I do, Windows 7 refuses to shutdown when I close all running programs and issue the shutdown. I must force an "electrical power off" and then contend with the "options menu to start in safe mode, etc. the next boot-up. I have had more BSODs on Windows 7 (< 6 mo.) than I had in 8 years running XP. As far as being a more secure system, I question that when I look at the constant Windows updates and see that over 90% are "security updates". And don't even get me started on the annoyances - e.g., "sorting a folder and having the "ascending" order changed to "descending" order for absolutely no reason, copying files to an external HD only to find the symbolic links were copied and numerous other annoyances (I call them bugs, but I guess M$ calls them features).

Recently I noticed that when I close IE tabs it doesn't close the processes it associated with them! Separate IE processes close and release memory only after the whole IE is closed...
If you open a tab to watch a YouTube video you immediately lose a significant amount of memory and you cannot get it back by simply closing the tab. Very unfortunate behavior.

Turn to linux, and just keep all windows as virtualbox images. Do most coding jobs in linux. This virtual machines are just needed as cross-compiler environments and testing environments. Forget all lumpy gui sweety, resort to linux nifty tools.

That can't be real. Someone too dumb to understand the meaning of the word "per" wouldn't understand how to breathe.

It is not the dumb bit that gets me though, it the logic she tries to apply to come up with an answer. You can almost see the cogs turning.
We all have dumb days, fair enough some more than others.
Reminds me of last wednesday in the curry house, while waiting for the starters to arrive there was general banters occurring as it does, and out of nowhere we went from music discussions to someone asking "In the film Mutiny on the Bounty, what was the name of the boat?", I could believe some of the answers some of them started giving
