We did some tests, as our site is leaking a lot of memory.
Took code from your documentation for example, nothing else

telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Flow="Horizontal">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Root Item 1">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child Item 1">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child Item 1.1" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child Item 1.2" />

</Items>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child Item 2" />

</Items>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Root Item 2">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Child Item 2.1" />

</Items>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</Items>

telerik:RadMenu>

and added a submit button, every time you submit you have huge spike of memory that never gets released, before you know it it is gearing up to 1GB. Please advise.

Tsvetomir thanks for your reply. I was doing the testing using Drip0.5. We are using IE 8, with no add-ons.
We are however using the Q1 2009 version of the controller. Is it possible that maybe in the latest version the leaks were resolved.
Below is drip's DOM leak list, I sorted it by references. For some reason it does not paste everything, but I just want you to see how much leaking takes place according to that software.

Hello Martin,

Drip was originally intended to work with IE6 and doesn't support later versions of the browser. A quick test confirmed this - no leaks shown in IE6, but plenty in IE7 and IE8.

The updated version of Drip is called Sieve and it works with IE7 (not sure about IE8). Testing with it confirmed no leaks in IE7 as well. I'm attaching screenshots for both 2009 and 2010 Q1.

You mention that the browser used 1GB of memory at some point. Is this from task manager or from Drip?

Best wishes,
