This is a simple observation on this page only, no other tabs open. The baseline is set without reloadevery and then I set it to 1min. These are the memory usage figures from task manager:
Baseline 498MB
Reload 1 Peak 530MB Drops to 516MB
Reload 2 Peak 560MB Drops to 516MB
Reload 3 Peak 564MB Drops to 524MB
Reload 4 Peak 571MB Drops to 528MB
Reload 5 Peak 571MB Drops to 532MB
Reload 6 Peak 578MB Drops to 529MB
Reload 7 Peak 575MB Drops to 538MB
Reload 8 Peak 582MB Drops to 548MB
Reload 9 Peak 591MB Drops to 556MB
When I stopped reload every, it crept up to about 580MB then slowly fell back to 553MB
