Sorry, I thought the XMLHttpRequests weren't leaking, but apparently they still might be.
Here's what I did: Google Chrome 4.0.249.22 (Development version) GWT 2.0.0 RC2 Created GWT app: webAppCreator -out MemTest memtest.MemTest Added this to onModuleLoad(): Timer timer = new Timer() { @Override public void run() { greetingService.greetServer("xxx", new AsyncCallback<String>() { public void onFailure(Throwable caught) { } public void onSuccess(String result) { } }); } }; timer.scheduleRepeating(1 * 1000); Ran the generated MemTest launcher (OOPHM) and clicked "Launch Default Browser" (Chrome). After a couple hours, the mem was 50MB+ (according to "Task manager"/"Stats for nerds") and Page/Developer/"Developer Tools"/ Profiles/"Heap Snapshot" indicated 2500+ instances of XMLHttpRequest. Though, the snapshot indicated that only 5MB or so of memory was being used, so I don't know what is using the other 45MB+. I also opened a OOPHM session in IE8, and the same steady memory increase was observed (though the growth was actually slower).
